Seems to have lost her way a touch of late; possible the short break will have done her some good but has a lot to prove just now. Others preferred.

9/4
Bounced back to form of late and is starting to look attractively weighted. Has won here from a 6lb higher mark in the past and will be a big threat if he can build on his latest second at Southwell. Sound claims and heads the shortlist.

Won over C&D off a mark of 50 last December but has been way below that form recently. Still looks a little high in the weights and, given he has a history of bleeding, he may be best watched just for the time being.

Has looked reluctant to race on more than one occasion lately and looks opposable despite being reasonably well treated on the pick of his form.

50/1
Dropped to a handy mark after a series of poor efforts. Recent switch in yards failed to rekindle his interest and looks one to be very wary of just at present.

7/2
Made the most of a good opportunity at the weights to score at Kempton earlier this month. Just 2lb higher for this, so has to be considered as a leading contender on the pick of his form. Hasn't managed to win back-to-back races since his juvenile days, though.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-1| J: Jordan Uys(7)| T: L Williamson| OR:  54
6/1
Has been in great heart of late and would have been coming here on the back of further success had the rider not weighted in light last time out. Jordan Uys is highly unlikely to make the same mistake again and is sure to give it a good shot at making amends. The return to six furlongs is another plus point.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR:  53
7/2
In good form and the drop back in trip is in his favour. However, he has never really managed to stride out as well on this course as he does at Wolverhampton and its worth noting he needs to post a career best effort to expand upon his recent haul.

Posted a couple of respectable efforts of late but has yet to win from 21 previous attempts. Also has a mixed record over 6f and looks opposable on balance.

Forecasts

Borough Boy (9/4), Tasaaboq (7/2), Nasri (7/2), Mighty Zip (6/1), Tilsworth Micky (6/1), Virile (7/1), Last Star Falling (14/1), Hurricane Alert (16/1), Ghost Train (25/1), Jeanie's Place (50/1)

Verdict

The well handicapped BOROUGH BOY gets the nod to round off the meeting on positive note. He has started to show some of his old sparkle and just edges the vote over Virile and Mighty Zip as a more reliable option. Nasri also comes into the reckoning as one to bear in mind if there are positive vibes about his chances of at least making the frame.
