Bhullar is now three-under 213 and will need a very good final round to get into the top-10.
Meanwhile SSP Chowrasia, who made the cut on the line, improved his position with an even par 72 and he is now two-over 218 in tied 52nd place.
At the top, Scotland's Peter Whiteford goes head to head with Englishman David Horsey in the final round.
The pair are four shots clear of Scotland's Scott Jamieson (69), Italian Andrea Pavan (64) and Belgian Thomas Pieters (72).
Whiteford, who is 190th in The Race to Dubai having only made four cuts all season, had a brilliant front nine, notching five birdies and an eagle against one dropped shot, then played the back nine in level par.
