Verdict

BOOM BOOM POW has a first start for Seamus Durack and he arrives at Chepstow off the back of a comprehensive success for previous connections at Kempton. Hitched appeared a little unlucky in running at Yarmouth on Wednesday and the gelding is a big threat here if handling this quick return to action. Twilight Dancer ran better than his bare finishing position at Brighton suggests while King Elvis goes handicapping for the first time and was never shorter than 100/1 on his three starts in novice company.
