The booking of Davy Russell is a big boost for BUONAROTTI BOY, who shaped with plenty of promise last time out and can make a bold bid to land back-to-back wins in this race even though he is a stone higher in the ratings this time around. Touch Of Gold appeals as a value option to make the frame, while My Betty would also be dangerous to rule out on her return to a track that suits her style of racing well. Kilcaragh Boy is a more adventurous alternative for a speculative punt.
