One Boy wasn’t far behind Liamba at Ayr last month and is 6lb better off. He’s since gone close at Musselburgh so is probably the form pick. Old-timer Seamster hasn’t won this year but has been placed five times and likes it here. COISTE BODHAR won this in 2016 and is very attractively weighted if he can rediscover his best form. Ground conditions will suit so Scott Dixon’s charge gets a tentative vote. Pearl Acclaim and Savannah's Show also have a chance on these terms.
