Borough Boy is happy on soft ground as he showed at Haydock last week for which a 6lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big effort. Prigsnov Dancer scored over the track and trip in May but has been unable to cope with the resultant weight rise though his young rider's claim will aid his cause. Indian Affair hasn't won for a very long time but has dropped in the weights accordingly and now looks on a fair mark. THE STRIG looks even better handicapped and was in superb form at this time a year ago, winning handicaps on soft ground at Brighton and Sandown. With conditions in his favour and having taken a massive drop in the ratings he looks the one to be on. Kiss From A Rose has only had eight runs and shown ability though she'll be racing on soft ground for the first time.
