Verdict
Totnes has something to prove over this far though faced a tougher task at Chester last time. Wild Hurricane was no match for the winner when second on his handicap debut while better was expected from Nasim at Kempton on his latest start. The Bay Warrior, Miss Bluebelle and Semser all have winning form here but so does BOASTY (NAP), who landed a course and distance double in April and was narrowly beaten off today’s mark when last at this venue.
