      Verdict

      Boomtown gets the vote here over Tiger's Rocket and Tapas Lad. The selection is running consistently well at present and he scored impressively when beating Wannabe Free at Lingfield last time. He shapes as though there could be more to come and he gets the confident vote. Tiger's Rocket won here on his last visit but that was over 7f and it is doubtful that this step-up in trip will paly to his strengths. Tapas Lad has plenty of ability but he is far from consistent and he again let his supporters down last time out. Nicky Vaughan has done well with his runners so far this season so Just Kenko is also worth a mention, but for the winner we will stick with Boomtown.
