Verdict
Bolton Barrie looks to face a straightforward opportunity to follow up recent successes at Carlisle and Wetherby and is the obvious choice to do so with stable companion Donovan the most likely to chase him home. The selection looks to be different class to his rivals and should score with the minimum of fuss. Donovan has the beating of Core Of Silver on running behind Thyne For Intersky at Carlisle in bumper company last week and looks best of the remainder. Royaloutlook has shown signs of ability and is worthy of a mention but there is no reason to oppose Bolton Barrie.
