Boyfriend¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 86

7/4

Good second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Newbury (8f, firm) 18 days ago, having run of race. 3 lb rise for that near-miss is tolerable and another bold show on the cards.

Form: 441/73-2

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Channon| OR: 85

3/1

Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to firm, 28/1) 32 days ago, doing too much too soon. Now tried in a visor.

Form: 3-23697

3/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 1/15-002

Madame De Sevigne¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Eddery| OR: 82

9/2

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 18 days ago. Sights lowered a touch here and she won't be far away with Oisin Murphy back aboard, if she puts her best foot forward.

Form: 6312-06

Quiet Resolve¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

20/1

Last of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 17/2) 18 days ago. 0-7 on turf and he makes limited appeal.

Boyfriend (7/4), Thyer (3/1), Metallo (3/1), Madame De Sevigne (9/2), Desperate Dan (8/1), Quiet Resolve (20/1)

BOYFRIEND proved that he retains all of his ability when, back from a year off, going down narrowly in a Class 2 Newbury handicap. A reproduction of that should be more than sufficient here, for all that Thyer is respected on the back of his C&D near-miss last month. Madame de Sevigne is best of the rest.
