Verdict
There’s little between several of these with De Bruyne Horse beating THREE C’S a neck here last week and the latter beating The Retriever a short-head over track and trip before that. But George Boughey’s charge was drawn wide last time and may come out best if both of his main rivals adopt their usual front-running tactics. Holiday Magic hasn’t won here for some time now while Michele Strogoff and Corndavon Lad look no nearer taking advantage of a slide down the weights.
