Shanroe Street might be a better bet than stablemate and course winner Misfits if recapturing his best form. Boric is a thorough stayer but not getting any younger and he hasn’t won in almost three years. CLONDAW RIGGER has travelled up from the Welsh borders d is now only 2lb higher than when last successful. He is the one to beat if he lasts home with Walkin In The Rain making more appeal than Letemgo of the others.
