Charle Brune still hasn’t won for current connections and was below par last time at Kelso. LUCKY LOVER BOY is a little worse off at the weights than when beating My Little Toni and Major Snugfit here last month but this promises to be run at a good pace and he does have an experienced conditional on board in Fergus Gillard. The Greenalls’ charge has since run well again when second at Stratford. Myburg looks much too high in the weights so Jack Yeats may be best of the rest.
