        Verdict

        Boo can win this at the expense of Tufton and Pitbull. The selection was a good second to Curzon Prince at Woverhampton last month on his latest outing. He ran off his all weather rating of 90 that day but is rated 17 pounds inferior on the turf. If able to translate some of that all weather form to the turf here he will be difficult to oppose. Tufton on the other hand does come from a yard having winners on the flat at present. Although his last run was over jumps when down the field at Taunton in the winter he does look well treated on what he has achieved in the past on the flat. Crystal Prince ran well in defeat recently at Nottingham. He runs off a mark of 72 which does not look an unfair one so any moves in the market should be noted. But for the winner we return to Boo.
