SIR BOSS has won his last two starts over C&D and the hat-trick beckons here. He's stepping back up in class under his penalty but looked to have plenty left up his sleeve when beating Lytham, who runs earlier on today's card, here a week ago. Time Square and Beat Route have a bit to find with the selection on earlier running, while Visions Of Johanna's recent victories came in claimers and he's facing tougher opposition here. Sir Royal is dropping down a grade and we may see a better run from him as a result.
