Boldinor has been running consistently well of late having not been beaten far in similar contests at Folkestone, here and at Lingfield in his last three starts and Martin Bosley's gelding should be thereabouts again but it is hard to get away from SENESCHAL, who gets the vote ahead of Who's Winning. Brendan Powell's gelding showed improved form when a two length fourth behind Manchestermaverick in a seven furlong claimer here last month and he has to be respected dropping down to six furlongs. Christine Dunnett's Scruffy Skip is capable but has only won once from 31 starts so is probably best left out of calculations. Tightrope ran better at Folkestone last time but needs to improve to trouble the selection, Seneschal. Andy Haynes drops the gelding in class today having struggled against the handicapper in recent starts and he is hard to oppose in this company having plenty in hand on official BHA ratings.
