Turbo Linn will be a short price but is hard to get away from, with Nodform William, Bolshoi Boy and Mansonn Leda seen as the ones to fight it out for the remaining places. Turbo Linn has been placed expertly by Alan Swinbank to win all three races to date, making light of a penalty second time out, before sauntering home under a double-anchor in an all-mares' affair at Catterick next time. She has yet to be asked a serious question, and is fully expected to take this before lining up in the valuable Aintree Bumper next month. Her mother was a triple bumper winner, and she looks all set to go one better here. Graham Lee would normally ride for Ferdy Murphy, but has been snapped up yet again by Karen McLintock to partner Nodform William. Not seen out since scoring at Musselburgh in November, he will be sharper for the run, while Bolshoi Boy is difficult to weigh up on his racecourse debut. Quite simply, this should be little more than an exercise canter for Turbo Linn, who is thought good enough to develop into a leading staying handicapper when switched to the Flat this summer.
