Verdict
ONE FOR THE BOSS was possibly flattered by his winning margin over a slightly shorter trip here last time and is 13lb higher now. But he revelled in the soft ground that day and has his conditions again today so might take all the beating again. Ball Hopper won on heavy going at Newton Abbot earlier this month so will handle the surface and can't be ignored while No Through Road has claims on his second over track and trip in March, though was behind Bens Moor over 3m here subsequently. Supreme Bob is proving disappointing and is best watched for now.
