Verdict

This looks something of a lottery as all step up in trip and most make their handicap debuts. Locket was a bit of a disappointment at Beverley last time so a speculative vote goes to BOUNDSY BOY to show further progress having finished a lot closer over 7f at Newcastle recently. Emerald Ensign finished ahead of Nortonthorpe Boy when runner-up at Catterick while Eagle Eyed Freddie was placed at the same Catterick meeting when ahead of Infant Hercules. Innse Gall posted a better effort at Ayr recently and is another to consider.
