Box Office usually attracts market interest but it’s almost two years since he last won a race of any description and he’s not lived up to early promise. Falcon Sun got off the mark over course and distance last month but is 7lb higher now, meaning he has to give 12lb to WORKING CLASS including Harrison Beswick’s claim. Oliver Sherwood’s charge was awarded a race at Fakenham last month by the stewards but showed that improved performance was no fluke with a third at Wincanton. Imperial Nemesis is running in only his second handicap but will need to do much better than at Uttoxeter. Tikk Tock Boom lacks a recent run so Sparky Stowaway may be the pick of the remainder.
