      In depth

      Verdict

      Boasty is raised 6lb and upped in class bidding for a hat-trick of course and distance wins while Cavalluccio won here on his penultimate start and Marion's Boy went close at Lingfield in March. But MAYFAIR GOLD (NAP) got off the mark with a victory at Southwell last time and looks worth another try over this far as she ran into a progressive sort when second over track and trip at the end of last year. Lenny's Spirit still looks high enough in the weights.
