Verdict
Saint Boniface has a shout on his earlier fourth at Brighton when WASPY ran flat and finished seventh only six days after landing the second leg of a C&D double. After a longer break, George Baker's filly could well be back to her best today and gets the nod. Inffiraaj has been dropped 4lb since her fourth over track and trip last month and that could see her in contention but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder in their current form.
