Verdict
A winner at Wolverhampton last month, ILEY BOY showed further improvement when scoring over track and trip recently and looks capable of better still judged on the manner of his latest success. He should confirm running with both Rock'n Gold and Almutamarred though was narrowly beaten by Bird For Life here back in November. Bogardus ran well over 1m3f at the track last time while Avocet was placed over a shorter trip at Lingfield a fortnight ago but has yet to win.
