Foxy Boy is fancied to reverse Hamilton running with the penalised Imperial Legend and is one for the short-list in this. The three-year-old Chizz De Biz also carries 6lb extra after making a winning reappearance at Brighton but can probably improve further. However, VALLARTA is a viable alternative as he has run well off similar marks the last twice and this intermediate distance should suit. Canford Bay may be the pick of the remainder as Young Tiger hasn’t so far built on last month’s third at Beverley.
