Verdict
Mr Bossy Boots has won seven times on the all-weather, including in a seller here three weeks ago, but has never reached a place in six outings on Turf. Conversely, CRICKLEWOOD GREEN has won seven times on Turf but is still a maiden after 15 starts on the all-weather. He ran poorly on his return to action at Windsor but a victory in a Class 4 handicap at Ascot last summer is comfortably the best form on view. Philba does his winning at Southwell and was behind Mr Bossy Boots earlier this month so he looks held but Bond Street Beau has shown a modicum of ability in handicaps and that may be good enough to earn him a place on the podium.
