BOY’S ON TOUR has won here since beaten seven lengths by Creadan Grae over track and trip at the start of the month. On today’s terms, there shouldn’t be much between the pair and Lucinda Russell’s charge may offer the greater value. A spell hurdling seems to have helped Amalfi Doug’s jumping and he shouldn’t be long in shedding his maiden tag over the larger obstacles while Sebastian Beach remains unexposed over fences. Go West Young Man and Welcome Ben, on the other hand, hold few secrets from the handicapper.
