Verdict
Spread Boy is penalised for his short-head victory at Carlisle and a follow-up looks unlikely. BURNWYND BOY came unstuck in this grade here last time but beat Goninodaethat over track and trip in May and is 4lb better off now. He also holds Whats For Pudding on the form book and can bounce back today. Chookie Royale, third over 6f last time, has won over this trip on Polytrack while Hills Of Dakota would have claims on last year's form but Gracie's Gift tends to reserve his best for the Fibresand nowadays and Strong Man has yet to win on Turf and disappointed at Wolverhampton earlier this week.
