Verdict

BOA has got her act together after a long lay-off and has won both starts this year. It could pay to stick with Reg Hollinshead's mare here as she's effectively racing off a 2lb lower mark with her apprentice's claim taken into consideration. Tenhoo was partnered by Nathan Alison when winning at Newcastle last time and may struggle off a higher mark today, but King's Counsel is dropping back down in both trip and class and he could figure. Dar Es Salaam produced a better effort on his latest start and has stronger claims than Crystal Gale, who has a bit to prove over today's trip.
