Outback Boy was beaten a long way when favourite over this trip at Wolverhampton in the spring but remains unexposed. KEEPER (NAP), by Frankel and a half-brother to six winners, has been raised 8lb for beating three rivals at Brighton but he’s still learning his job and a follow-up here seems likely with Carrigillihy penalised for a cosy win in a Class 6 at Pontefract. Percy Willis and Everett are both likely to struggle again.
