MYBOYALFIE thrives when the mud is flying and has won two of his three starts on this track. John Jenkins' five-year-old has only been raised a couple of pounds since scoring over C&D last month and can complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Rocky Reef, a C&D winner himself last month and far from disgraced under a penalty at Sandown last Saturday. Kingswinford only won a claimer at Salisbury and faces a stiff task under top weight but Rigoletto is beginning to look well handicapped and should find a race before the end of the campaign.
