In the second division on the bumper, Cry A lot Boy is selected ahead of Banoo and Adorabella. By Spinning World out of a Caerleon mare, the Kevin Morgan-trained Cryalot Boy could be interesting on his debut, particularly if there is market support for him, and he gets the vote in the finale. Based on breeding, Banoo is another that we suggest keeping an eye on. Adorabella has shown promise in each start and Alan King's mare is worthy of consideration. Blackthorn Boy, Africa Blaze and Easement are worth a look in the market, while Desert Inferno showed debut promise and, if he has not by now run at Wincanton on Thursday, has also to be considered. Fintan did well to score on his debut and, even though beaten last time, that was in a much better race than this and he is entitled to some thought. Finally, What A Buzz has shown some promise but improvement is probably needed if he is going to score. Once again, then, we return to the selection, which is Cry Alot Boy.
