Boundless Prospect gets the vote to land his fourth victory this year and his second for the Ollie Pears yard. Claimed by his current yard having won a mile handicap at Doncaster in April. One worry are the quirks which he has tended to display which will test his young rider's ability while his challenge will also have to be delayed owing to stamina concerns over ten furlongs. His main danger could well prove to be his stable mate Rowan Lodge who never got involved at Carlisle on Monday but has it all to do to reverse form with Boundless Prospect judged on their Leicester clash. Roman History has ground to make up on Rowan Lodge based on their Carlisle form. Starlight Girl takes a marked step up in trip and the market will provide a guide where she is concerned but Boundless Prospect is our selection.
