Verdict
Division two of this modest affair can go to Badou over Chocolate Boy, Mythical Charm and Achilles Rainbow. The selection came good over seven at Wolverhampton last time but had shown previously that he can go well here and that's good enough for us. He's been raised five for that but his very good rider claims three. Achilles Rainbow ran well on his first attempt on this surface last time and could go well dropped in trip. Ballare has to respected on his Turf form. Chocolate Boy was noted staying on late last time after losing his action, so he could go well. Mythical Charm is a course winner over 10 furlongs but has to be given a chance from a decent mark. Overall, though, we'll stay with Badou.
