Verdict
Hamilton winner Boundless Spirit has claims on that form, but he's temperamental and has a high draw to contend with. TAMAREEN is the tentative selection as it was soft ground at Catterick on his first attempt over 5f and today's faster surface may bring out the best in him. Nafa got off the mark at Ayr a fortnight ago with Chester Deelyte and Beautiful Day well beaten and has scope for further improvement, while Morermaloke will be taking advantage of his slide down the weights soon. Cadmium Loch and Justbookie Dot Com have difficult tasks from an unfavourable draw.
