Race preview
Although BINGO STAR hasn't been seen on a racecourse for a lengthy period of time, that may not be enough to scupper his chances of landing a first victory under Rules. He has been a model of consistency in the point-to-point sphere, claiming five victories from 17 outings, and he may be able to mount a bold bid today. Back Bar is capable on his day and dangerous to dismiss, while Drakes Well is another to consider.
