From a decent draw Bolton Hall can take his big field handicap, with Sol Rojo, Able Mind and Terry Molloy others to consider in a weak contest. Bolton Hall is a consistent performer and has not been far away when making the frame on his last three starts. This trip is his optimum, he has a course win to his name, and despite a 3lb rise this should not take a great deal of winning. Sol Rojo drops back from 10f but has won over this trip and is another with a handy pitch from stall 13. Top weight won't help though and he is just opposed. Able Mind will have to win this from the car park but scored over c&d last year and off 7lb higher he should go well. Terry Molloy has twice finished runner up recently and from the same mark of 57 and with fast ground to suit he could prove to be the big danger if he can overcome the draw, but preference is for the solid form of Bolton Hall.
