        Verdict

        Bosun Breese has the form to win this at the expense of The Nifty Fox and Malapropism. The selection ran a career best when second to Good Gorsoon at Windsor last month. He showed a great deal of speed that day and with conditions in his favour here over a fast five furlongs he should prove difficult to beat. The Nifty Fox came back to somewhere near his best when finishing second to Inter Vision at Redcar last time out. Again he likes a fast surface and can once again enter the frame with conditions in his favour. Malapropism looks high enough in the weights at present. He has run some fine races in defeat of late but does seem to be within the grip of the handicapper at present so is to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Bosun Breese.
