Verdict
Boxing Shadows was very heavily punted at Musselburgh last time and just came up short. Backers may try and recoup losses here so he's worth a market check as he has the plum draw again. It Must Be Faith won over 6f here last week while Margrets Gift took a fillies' handicap at Beverley last month but has been done no favours by the draw today. Bondi Beach Boy also won at Beverley last week, just holding off Sunny Side Up and FLASH CITY. The winner now has a penalty, however, and the third looked a bit unlucky that day so we'll take Ruth Carr's sprinter to have his revenge and land this as he's better drawn and more consistent than Karen Tutty's course and distance scorer. Ypres makes most appeal of the remainder.
