Bahango is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton last week but can still figure if handling the surface. But there are no concerns about RITA'S BOY on the Fibresand given he went very close over 6f here last time when only headed in the closing stages - Karl Burke's charge looks good enough to land this on that evidence. Zebs Lad never threatened when third in a claimer here last time and Kempton maiden winner Jebediah Shine was well beaten on his handicap debut.
