Verdict
Expert is related to a couple of winners and Riverboat Springs is a half-brother to a winning sprinter in Australia. Both should be noted for any significant support but COCKNEY BOB has shown enough to suggest he can land an ordinary maiden. He's getting closer with every run and can land this if improving on his recent narrow defeat at Goodwood. Mr Dandy Man finished ahead of Centrality when fifth at Chepstow last time, though it was still a backward step after his debut second at Doncaster.
