Vivacious Boy may have been a little unlucky when a much-improved second at Ayr. Costa Teguise was only beaten half-a-length by Bomb Squad at Windsor and is a pound better off. The latter has since finished third in a minor contest in France but there may not be much to choose between that pair today. Holbache is having a first run away from Wolverhampton but did finish ahead of Bath runner-up Likely Successor on his nursery debut. MYBOYMAX drops into this lowly grade for the first time and ran his best race so far here in June so gets one more chance to come good.
