This looks quite competitive considering the prize money on offer. Kodimoor rattled up a hat-trick before finding one too good at Catterick 11 days ago. Be Bold doesn’t win often but always seem to run his race. Ocean Air ended a poor run when scrambling home here last month and is worth a market check while Crazy Tornado showed signs of a revival at Musselburgh and won here off a higher mark last year. RETIREMENT BECKONS might be worth sticking with as he’s improved with every run this year and has already scored over track and trip.
