Ey Up Its The Boss finished second in a Redcar nursery last year when Treasure Troube and Hurt You Never were both well beaten. Khurumbi has a chance switching to Turf but May Punch is now 0-12, though has placed five times. THIN LIZZY ran her best race last year here when the going was soft. She hasn’t been disgraced in a couple of outings on the all-weather this year and may be ready to open her account. Darbucks showed improvement when second in this grade at Wolverhampton but today’s going is an unknown.
