Verdict
Irish raider JUST FOR MARY came here last week and ran well behind Mata Hari Blue. He'll be more at home in the conditions than most and gets the nod. Boucher Garcon was inconvenienced by the draw when narrowly beaten by Shawkantango at Newcastle but has since run poorly at Nottingham and Derek Shaw's charge can confirm the form. Select Committee has seven career victories to his credit but almost all have been on fast ground while Bosun Breeze is another likely to be unsuited by the conditions. Fama Mac is racing over the minimum trip for the first time but he loves testing going and has dropped to a very lowly mark despite running well at Thirsk last Saturday, though he's out of the handicap here.
