Verdict
BOYCHICK escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice’s race at Wolverhampton and took advantage at Chelmsford last time when returning an easy winner. He’s worth sticking with despite a hike in the weights given he drops back down a grade. Mr Frankie won at Wolverhampton in October having slid down the handicap while Tulip Dress went close at the same track a week ago. Hallings Comet had just the one start last year when winning at Lingfield in November and hurdles winner Pillard debuts on the all-weather.
