Several in with a shout but preference is for BOX TO BOX, who won twice at this course this time last year and is entitled to be sharper for his C&D return last month. The hat-trick-seeking Cockalorum could emerge as the main threat for Roger Fell & Sean Murray, with Bizarre Law and Evocative Spark also fancied to go well.
