MALAYSIAN BOLEH went close at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and should make a bold bid in this. Billyoakes was placed at Chelmsford last time having won over 6f at the same track earlier while Tabla found only one too good over a mile here last summer and should be sharper for a recent comeback run. Star Of The Stage ran below par on his latest start and Gold Return has struggled since scoring at Wolverhampton in October.
