Plumpton winner Harry's Hottie could only manage third last time but SHOT BOLI followed an earlier success at Lingfield with another victory at the same track. He beat Oliver's Island on that occasion and, given the latter has subsequently scored at Market Rasen, David Pipe’s charge looks worth sticking with. Secret Trix won at Fakenham when upped in distance and further progress looks likely while Coillte Eile was ending a long losing run when successful at Chepstow.
