Dancin Boy was narrowly beaten over a mile at Newcastle with Myklachi back in fourth and Northern Lyte was beaten only a length over the same distance at Newcastle more recently. Both have placed over 7f before but BOSTON GEORGE debuted in a tough Class 2 contest at York when finishing a couple of lengths behind the runner-up and subsequent winner Indomitable and Keith Dalgleish’s colt may prove good enough. Coolagh Forest is a half-brother to winners in Italy and preferred to fellow newcomers Hartlepool and Secret Footsteps.
