Ralphy Boy is upped 3lb for winning at Pontefract but should be in the mix once again. Bahamian C posted a better effort when third at Redcar and can race off the same mark while Kiwi Bay went very close on his penultimate start but was below par at Thirsk last time when LAWYER finished third. The latter drops down a grade today and scored off a similar mark at Windsor last season. Sophisticated Heir would prefer some cut in the ground while Johnny Cavagin has yet to win over further than 7f.
