Verdict
Boom The Groom usually runs his race and should be in the mix once again but it's likely to be a close-run thing between recent Chelmsford winner Royal Bajan and the re-opposing placed horses Megaleka and Long Awaited. Masamah is capable at this level but hasn't raced since August while BASIL BERRY (NAP) was having first start since September when runner-up at Chelmsford last month. Chris Dwyer's charge should be sharper today and can go one better confirming superiority with Steelriver and Mappin Time in the process.
