A Boy Named Ivy made a winning debut for new connections over a mile at Redcar and is upped in distance. Bollin Margaret has recorded a recent hat-trick on fast going but Sharpcliff went close on soft ground before winning easily at Newcastle and is 9lb higher. WAR LEADER has also been in winning form having landed a double when winning a tougher contest on the all-weather last month. He’ll handle any cut in the ground and the former Ballydoyle inmate gets the nod. Rainbow Jet is preferred to Solent Gateway of the rest.
