      Verdict

      Black Isle Boy began his winning run in a maiden over the track and trip in April and has since won at Hamilton and Ayr, He's up another 5lb in a better race but it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts. Golden Apollo ended his first campaign with a victory over this trip at Doncaster and has been finding 7f taxing his stamina in his two runs this season. He looks certain to go well but EL HOMBRE looks the one to be on. Keith Dalgleish's charge went up 7lb for landing a minor handicap at Hamilton but it made no difference as he won a Class 4 at Haydock in good style. He's up another 5lb and this is tougher but he's on the upgrade and can complete a hat-trick.
