TAP TAP BOOM proved he retains a good portion of his ability with a pleasing return to action when third at Hereford just under 3 weeks ago. He may well come on from that outing, so he gets the verdict to notch a first success over timber on these shores. The hood is quickly reinstated for Dorking Boy with him having failed to settle last time so he's feared most, ahead of Faire Part Sivola.
