In depth

Verdict

Jackie Kiely meets Three Boars on 10lb better terms than when beaten just under ten lengths over one mile six here last month which should be enough to see him reverse the form. Three Boars has continued to perform with credit but has been held the last twice from a 2lb lower mark than today's whilst Roy Brotherton's gelding is back down to a winning mark following that defeat last time. The return to racing to a mile and a half also favours the selection as it's his optimum trip whereas Three Boars is arguably at his best over further. Summerofsixtynine is unexposed but the finish should be fought out by the two principals and Jackie Kiely is taken to come home in front.
