Verdict

There was a possible excuse for TAKE THE BOAT at Kempton last time and she can show she's still on a favourable mark. Dynamite Defense took a step back in the right direction when returned to the Flat 4 weeks ago and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of recent 2m Newcastle scorer Angelardo.
