Verdict
Boss Hog gained a deserved success when landing a Southwell maiden last month but he has been hard to win with and, even in this grade, looks best watched in a race taken to go to DESERT DREAMER, who gets the vote with Interactive rated the best of the rest. The selection has been running consistently well in claimers and sellers of late and was good value for his defeat over Interactive over course and distance last time and he is taken to confirm that form today. Obe Royal has won three of his last four starts but they have all been at Southwell and he is far from certain to appreciate the return to the Polytrack. Kabis Amigos has been running creditably in handicaps recently and may do better now switched into a seller, while Fun In The Sun may struggle under his penalty. Landucci was bought out of John Hills stable after finishing down the field in a seller here in January and has not shown any improvement for the change in yard so he looks best left out of calculations and preference is for Desert Dreamer, who is taken to follow up his recent course and distance success.
