Verdict

BOAGRIUS's losing run tempers enthusiasm, yet he signalled a return to form when third at Leicester last month and, having run well from a much higher mark at Bangor early on this term, he gets the tentative nod to put it all together in an open-looing affair. Wincanton-scorer Red Happy and Full of Surprises head up the dangers, whilst market support for Across The Channel on chase debut would look significant.
