Verdict
Mr Bachster has either won or failed to complete in his four starts this term and is therefore hard to predict but an 11lb rise for his win here last month does seem somewhat over the top. In contrast, OLYMPIAN BOY has been a model of consistency over the past couple of years and was a cosy Taunton winner last time. He has also been hit with an 11lb rise for his win which seems very tough on the 12-y-o. However, he's a really genuine sort who should still give us a good run for our money. Support for Princesse Fleur would be significant and Lost In Newyork has place claims off a featherweight.
