Verdict
Hit Mac and Kath's Toyboy are regularly in the mix at this level without winning but the prolific Bobby Joe Leg is overdue another victory on the all-weather. Tom Tulliver’s earlier success came in a classified race while Barney's Angel makes his handicap debut. CLOUD QUEEN wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Lingfield on her handicap bow so Ed Dunlop’s filly may prove the one to side with.
