BOARDMAN arrives at the top of his game so is taken to repeat last year's success off what remains a workable mark. Fools Rush In shaped well when beaten a length over this C&D on return 3 weeks ago and any improvement on that should see him go very close. Oh This Is Us has a good record here and makes e/w appeal at bigger odds.
