Top Boy won last year’s renewal and has scored here subsequently. He beat Dynamo Walt in February though the latter came out best when fourth at the track last week. Highly Sprung is back on a winning mark and has placed on his last couple of outings while Zipedeedodah finished ahead of NORMAL EQUILIBRIUM (NAP) at Wolverhampton back in March. But the latter recently finished third at Epsom and a repeat effort should see him go close in this with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. Cultured Knight has yet to win a handicap but continues to creep up the weights.
