Verdict
BOROUGH BOY (NAP) was always in charge at Chelmsford last week when justifying strong support in emphatic fashion. He escapes a penalty for that apprentice race success and should prove hard to pass if adopting a repeat of the make-all tactics undertaken that day. Stable companion Shawkantango is totally exposed but has claims whilst Give Us A Belle is another who has no secrets from the assessor but has an excellent record at this venue where he's gained all six career wins. He looks the each-way option. Ecliptic Sunrise has proved a much-improved sort this term, primarily on the back of a series of good performances at Brighton. However, she's more than capable on an artificial surface too and rates a major threat despite her inevitable rise through the ratings.
