Boudica Bay has won nine times and reappears for a new yard on a fair mark. Jordan Electrics finished ahead of the race-fit Bert Kibbler when returning to action at Musselburgh but we’ll take a chance on the fitness of SIXCOR. A course and distance winner three times last year, he has Mark Winn’s claim to aid his cause today. Earn Your Stripes looks the pick of the remainder.
