Verdict
The Boola Bee won at Warwick and Perth in May and has only found one too good in both starts since returning from his summer holidays. He got going too late last time at Wincanton but is 4lb higher now. SMUGGLER’S STASH returns from an extended lay-off on a decent mark. He has needed a run in the past but has won around here and looks a viable alternative to the likely favourite. Letemgo may be the pick of the remainder but that’s not saying much.
