Bo McGinty, Caribbean Coral and Lake Garda are the three against the field in this competitive affair, and Bo McGinty is taken to defy top weight. Lake Garda has twice gone down by half a length to My Gacho recently and clearly deserves to win a race. However, Kevin Ryan's charge is without a win in two years and this stiff finish might find him out. Caribbean Coral clearly still possesses ability as a close third to Folga on his most recent start suggests. The winner scored again at Pontefract so the form has been boosted but the seven year old is without a win since taking the Gosforth Park Cup in 2004 and can be taken on. Bo McGinty hails from a yard in form and can supplement a course and distance success last time. He wasn't winning out of turn as he had previously finished a close second at York. He is up against some useful;l types here and will have to be a this best to win but he is well drawn and can continue his winning form. Bo McGinty can shrug off the weight.
