BOULD MOVER ran a cracker on his reappearance in the King's Stand and is fancied to see off Triple Aspect and Hamish McGonagall in a competitive opener. The three-year-old was placed in Group company last year and his reappearance run at Ascot would suggest that he has trained on very well. He is all about speed and in this easier company he can give his trainer a first Group success. Triple Aspect is a course and distance winner and was second in this race twelve months ago; he is still progressing after a Listed win on his comeback but he needs to forget an average run in the Golden Jubilee. Hamish McGonagall has been improving rapidly and this quality handicapper deserves this step up in grade, although he has several lengths to find on Group Therapy who put him in his place at Beverley last month and they race off the same terms. Moorhouse Lad brings experience (and speed) to the table and is not discounted, along with Reignier who has a lot to find on official ratings but the track suits him well. Wi Dud needs to pick his game up, a comment that doesn't apply to the selection Bould Mover.
