In depth
Verdict
Course specialist My Bold Boyo comes here at the top of his form and looks sure to go well off his highest ever mark, but Sungio will find this more competitive than when winning a claiming hurdle at Fontwell. He is not the easiest of rides and Mick Fitzgerald, who partnered him that day, prefers Celtic Star, who lost nothing in defeat when beaten by a couple of useful performers last time and he looks certain to be involved in the finish. However, this can go to Tamango, who is open to improvement, having only had the three outings over hurdles.
