In depth

Verdict

Boomtown has a wonderful pedigree and should be watched in the betting, but a safer option could be Musical Charm, with Wotashirtful another newcomer to keep on the right side. The selection has shown plenty of promise in two races to date. She was staying on really strongly at the end of a Thirsk five furlong event last time out and should be suited by this longer trip. Many of Mark Johnston's juveniles have needed the first run and so Boomtown cannot be given the vote, but if well supported he may be worth a saver. Wotashirtful is a well bred son of Namid and hails from a yard well capable of getting one ready first time out. The market as usual will be all important here, but without that knowledge we have to side with Musical Charm.
