Verdict
BOSHAM won this last year from exactly the same mark and has bounced back to form in no uncertain terms on the all-weather. He'll take some beating with his young rider's claim again a bonus. Captain Lars completed a hat-trick on three different all-weather surfaces in March and won again at Lingfield earlier this month but all those victories came at a very minor level. Landing Night likes a fast track and quick ground and wasn't beaten far in a better race than this at Musselburgh so he should get into the frame but Zapper Class, who has changed stables, is better over a bit further. Perfect Words is back on the same mark as when scoring here in August.
