The three-year-old BOYNTON comes out best on these terms. He returned to action with a close-up third at Chelmsford on his first start over today’s trip and has plenty of scope for improvement. Permission was placed in Listed company here recently while both Spark Plug and Air Pilot drop down in class with the former preferred on today’s fast going having placed in a Group 3 contest here last time. The remainder have plenty to find at the weights with Dark Red making most appeal on his recent third in a valuable handicap at Ascot.
