      Verdict

      Pride Of Lecale easily beat Shaw's Cross at Ffos Las in January but the latter enjoys a big turnaround in the weights. Boagrius is a past winner here but has been well below his best this season and was beaten by BILLINGSLEY (NAP) at Newbury a couple of years ago on similar terms. A change of tactics worked wonders for the latter at Ffos Las last month and a double looks to be on the cards for Alastair Ralph’s charge with First Class Return offering little this term.
