In depth
Verdict
Boston Heather, as is the case with so many from the stable, obliged on his first start for Dan Skelton and has clear follow-up claims but similar comments apply to Irish raider MAKE MY HEART FLY, who appeared to score with something to spare over course and distance last month. The Elliott inmate may have the greater scope for improvement and just gets the nod. Short Flight battled on stoutly to score at Cartmel last time but this looks harder and Lincoln County's recent consistent run is more appealing for each-way purposes with Sean Bowen a good booking for Oliver Greenall.
