Verdict
With a close-up fourth in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury last month his best effort to date, TOP BOY is now rated 100 and still without a win. He can put that right here and is the one to beat. Shillito has been placed on his last three starts but may have to wait a bit longer before he's winning while Baron Run made a promising debut at Sandown and will be fighting out the places with Polish Crown and Time And Place. Frankie's presence on Robot Boy will attract attention and the Mill Reef entry is worth noting on his debut.
