Verdict
Boy George has enjoyed the return to the Turf though is 6lb higher than when last successful while Night Eagle won over a shorter trip at Lingfield with Agent Of Fortune back in fourth. Blairlogie also steps up in distance after placing at the latter track so a chance is taken on MYRIAD. The latter should improve for a recent fourth at Salisbury on his first outing gelded and is preferred to Twining on today’s fast ground.
