Bonny Boy gets the vote here Bekstar and Zeloso rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Le Forezien last time out and with the drop in trip on this stiffer course looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Bekstar rates the main danger as he looks well weighted on his best form but he was very disappointing last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Zeloso is better with much more cut in the ground while Dirty Sanchez showed improved form last time out to be second and could improve again for the fitting of blinkers but for the winner we return to Bonny Boy.
