Verdict

Boanerges looks set to return to winning ways here, with Canary dancer and Avit the most likely dangers. Milton Bradley's eight-year-old gave notice that his time wasn't far away when finishing an excellent second behind Secret Vision at Wolverhampton. That was quite a competitive affair and with more improvement almost guaranteed he looks the best option today. Avit has been running a lot better than his form figures suggest and with a bit of luck in running could make the frame. A bigger danger though may be Canary Dancer who has had a busy season but holds her form well. She has plenty of good course efforts to her name and should be there or thereabouts. Harbour House could be the best outsider but our idea of the winner is Boanerges.
