Heavy going was a legitimate excuse for Aleef at Lingfield last month. Harrogate got back to winning ways at Musselburgh two weeks ago but may be too high in the weights now. BOUDICA BAY was only beaten half-a-length off this mark when on a hat-trick here on Tuesday. Providing he’s fully recovered, Eric Alston’s charge is entitled to go close again as it took last week’s Thirsk winner Dana Forever 21 attempts to get off the mark, though he is unpenalised and Luke Catton is able to utilise his claim today. Glorious Rio continues in good form but may find at least a couple of these are better treated and a drop back to 5f may not suit the maiden Zoom Star.
