BOA may be able to build on the promise of her latest run and is preferred to Yukon Quest and Jupiter Warning. The selection probably ran too freely when disappointing at Cheltenham but she was ridden with more restraint over this course and distance last time and rewarded connections with a career best performance when chasing home a useful individual. She isn't anything out of the ordinary but may be able to land a modest affair. Jupiter Warning was well beaten on debut but showed the benefit of that experience when only going down narrowly at Southwell and he should go close if able to translate that form to this surface. Yukon Quest was beaten a long way at Newbury but that was a significantly better race than this one and it would be no surprise to see him fare considerably better this time around. Hall Kelly has won an Irish point and is worth noting in the market for signs of support but preference is for the proven form of Boa.
