Two of the four-year-old Another Boy’s victories have come at Sandown but the other was achieved on this track in 2015. He’s not out of this and neither is Berkshire Boy. Redgrave came up against an improver over a mile here earlier this month and connections are persevering with the headgear. Plant Pot Power is the likely pace angle but will probably be picked off again in the closing stages. SALT WHISTLE BAY has come good since encountering ground with some give. He wouldn’t want the going to get any quicker but must be given the chance to complete the hat-trick.
