It's difficult to see past BOSTON BOB here. The Irish point-to-point winner was beaten less than a length when third in a bumper at Punchestown last month and looks capable of taking this on his first start for new connections. Thirty Days Out didn't look like catching the first three home at Kelso last time but wasn't beaten far at this track on his debut, while Plenmeller looks sure to improve for his debut fourth at Newcastle. The remainder have plenty to find and the newcomers look nothing special on breeding.
