BLACK ISLE BOY made a winning return to action at Pontefract last month and he can follow up that success by winning on handicap debut today. The selection raced prominently on that occasion and can get the better of stablemate Musicka who is likely to be tackling better ground than when disappointing last time out while Saint Equiano, a winner at Ayr on soft ground when last seen in action in October can claim third.
