Three of these are clear at the weights including Mamillius, who was due to run here yesterday. Philba has every chance but has done all his winning on the all-weather at Southwell so far and MR BOSSY BOOTS is preferred. The latter has yet to win over further than 7f but drops in class for this and gets the nod. Shining Valley is weighted to beat Chelwood Gate but both remain hard to to recommend on these terms.
