Verdict

Revich is a real course specialist and has the plum draw and ground conditions in his favour again. However, he started favourite for this last year racing off the same mark and only managed fourth and he was beaten by Fools Rush In over track and trip in August on the same terms. Boardman was just behind the pair that day but did win a shade cosily at Haydock just under two weeks ago with Repertoire, Seasett and Red Mirage other recent winners. BOOSALA was no match for the useful Chindit on his reappearance but faced a stiff task at the weights. He is giving weight to all of his rivals in this but is back over his best trip and is the class act.
