Verdict
RITA'S BOY went close at Nottingham last time and should be in the mix again only 2lb higher than last year's win at Southwell. But Flicka's Boy may find a 6lb rise beyond him after scoring at Nottingham a week ago. Indescribable has a shout back over the minimum trip but both Mo Henry and Canny Kool were beaten after landing their respective maidens at Lingfield and Musselburgh. Beau Eile and Elusive Epona got off the mark on their latest starts and it remains to be seen how they fare now handicapping for the first time.
