Boston George carries a penalty for his Newcastle win but is clearly progressing and shouldn’t be underestimated. Destination was well backed at Doncaster 10 days ago but found little off the bridle and may need more time. FRANZ KAFKA is more exposed but he’s gone close in both starts this season and deserves a change of luck with his second at Doncaster looking very strong form. Dream of Honour failed to win in eight attempts last season and has been gelded over the winter but looks the pick of the remainder, though a market check is advised on the very well-bred newcomer Ripon Spa who is a brother to the useful Jallota and from a yard that’s in peak form.
