      Verdict

      Bosco is a tentative choice over Leitrim Rock, Jackie Kiely and Labelled With Love in the seller. This is not an event to get too heavily involved in but the drop to this grade may see the so far disappointing Bosco come good. Richard Hannon has not found the key to him yet and blinkers failed to do the trick at Kempton last time. This could be described as a last throw of the dice for the son of Petardia, but he is by no means a good thing. If he does fail again, Leitrim Rock, another under-achiever may be the one to profit. He too has gone downhill since his two-year-old days though, while Jackie Kiely comes from a stable that has been under a cloud and is only now starting to shake off the effects. Labelled With Love has only had two career outings at the age of four and was an encouraging second in similar company at Leicester last time. It would be no surprise if he were to prevail, but we shall give one more chance to Bosco.
