Verdict
BOSHAM (NAP) won five times over track and trip early last year including this sprint. On a winning mark and dropping back down in class, he looks to have strong claims once again though needs to reverse latest running with Zac Brown. The latter also has a shout with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back today while Boomerang Bob is perfectly capable of landing this off his current mark. Eljaddaaf is upped in class after scoring at Kempton and Shamshon won a sprint at Ascot when last in action back in October. Outrage landed a double in December but is now 8lb higher than his latest success.
