Verdict

Boy In The Bar has won three times around here in his ten career victories and has been running in much stronger company. Reckless Endeavour was in good form last winter but has been well beaten in all starts since returning in July. Unforgiving Minute has a tremendous strike-rate of 14-48 with his last six victories coming in claimers including on this track. DANCING RAVE, a winner at Thirsk in June, has never run here but takes a big drop in class after running in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket last week and Oisin Murphy can steer him to a seventh career success. Atletico was engaged in the 4.15 at Kempton yesterday.
