Fitness could be an issue with a few of these returning from a break. Genever Dragon is one and Ten Past Midnight is another while Sufi hasn’t run since November. Rafiki did have an outing on the all-weather last month but didn’t do very well and has changed stables. Professor Calculus is only 1-22 but was placed at Newton Abbot earlier this month. BOUNDSY BOY is a pound higher than when beaten six lengths at Worcester but that form still looks the best on offer.
