Verdict
Three-year-olds have won two of the last three and BOLD APPEAL should keep up the sequence. Ralph Beckett's charge is sent here with a penalty which is hardly surprising given his easy victory over this trip at Chepstown and he's probably still on the upgrade after just eight starts. It was a seller that Nickscreamcracker won here last month but the other youngster in the race, Old Fashion, ran very well when runner-up here last month. Ten times winner Arizona John can never be dismissed at this sort of level and just holds Tamayuz Magic on their recent run at Thirsk which the former won.
