Toss The Caber is in fine form and can win again, with Boo, Zarova and Wolds Dancer out to stop him. Keith Reveley has placed Toss The Caber well of late, the three-year-old having won two of his last three starts, at Thirsk and Musselburgh. His latest effort at the Scottish track was even more commendable as Tony Culhane managed to overcome a slipped saddle inside the final furlong to hold on in that class 6 event. He moves up a grade now, but was probably value for another couple of pounds at least, given his mishap, and he can improve again to score. Boo comes from a stable in form and showed that he is in good order as well when holding Mount Hillaby in a driving finish at Ayr four days ago. A six -pound penalty will anchor him though, while Zarova has to improve from tackling selling company to figure strongly. Wolds Dancer is another from an in-form yard and as she picked up well in first-time blinkers when a close second at Beverley, it would be folly to leave her out of calculations entirely. In an open end to the card, we shall stick with Toss The Caber.
