In depth

Verdict

Boogie Street gets the call here ahead of Corridor Creeper and Majestic Missile. A repeat of Boogie Street's course and distance Group 3 narrow defeat to Ringmoor Down last July would give him a big chance today, although he has yet to run this season. Corridor Creeper has been in great heart and comes here seeking a three-timer, although this represents possibly a tougher test than the two he has won so far. If Paradise improved towards the end of last season but possibly needs to keep it going this time around. Johnny Ebeneezer also improved last season but, once again, possibly has a few pounds to find to win. Majestic Missile has four lengths to find on Boogie Street based on Goodwood form last year, although he possibly ran below par there. The others have something to find on official ratings which spins us back to Boogie Street, who holds a chance on the ratings and should go well, particularly if supported.
