        Verdict

        BO MCGINTY has been running with credit on the all weather this year without finding a win but we tip him to buck the trend on his return to turf today and get the better of Nomoreblondes and Steelcut. The selection has finished runner up on the last two occasions but has been drawn well here in lowly company and will appreciate the going. Nomoreblondes was a winner last time out for the first time since 2007. The rise in weights may hold her back here but the high draw is an advantage and the mare should make the money. Steelcut ran an encouraging race last week after 226 days off. Both his wins have been gained during the month of May and he appeals as one to keep on side for the time being. Of the rest 12-year-old The Tatling has the most appeal, but may be past his best as he enters his 13th year. A relatively poor handicap where the draw should prove decisive, a market check is advised but for us Bo McGinty looks the likely winner.
