Verdict

BOGA won well last time and she can get her head in front again here; the main dangers would appear to be Jack My Boy and Novay Essjay. Mick Channon's filly improved significantly on her debut run at Lingfield when she got the better of Kate Skate at Bath last time. That was over 5f, but she is bred to be suited by this longer trip and further progress would make her tough to beat. Jack My Boy justified favouritism to win in good style at Beverley last time and he is another who should find this extra furlong in his favour. The yard are in good form which is another big plus. Novay Essjay is turned out quickly having won well on his debut at Ripon last week. He is a strapping colt who should relish this extra furlong and he is entitled to run a big race. Tres Coromas was all-out to score here last week over a trip that did not bring his stamina into play. This extra furlong will help him today but ideally he wants even further and he could be vulnerable today against some speedy types. Leopard Hills and War Wolf are both seeing a racecourse for the first time tonight and a watching brief on the market is advised, but for the winner we will stick with Boga, who won so well last time out.
