HE’S MY BOY dropped down in trip last time and won over course and distance with a bit in hand. He may well defy a 5lb rise and is preferred to Yarmouth maiden winner Roman Holiday. Kinglami was placed here and Straits Of Malacca was second at Epsom before both were well beaten in the same race at Goodwood and Doctor Parkes was third over track and trip in a claimer last month. Harmony Bay won over today’s trip at Salisbury in between modest efforts over 7f and Classic Pursuit could be thereabouts.
