A trappy affair with plenty of out of form sprinters in opposition so we will side with BOHO CHIC with Castano and Getcarter on the shortlist. George Baker's filly suggested she had trained on with a fair reappearance effort at Lingfield. She would have been a sitting duck on the polytrack and her residual pace will be much more useful around here. Castano has a useful apprentice booked and did win this race last year. He invariably seems to engineer a reason to get beat. Getcarter has struggled to get home over further due to racing too keenly. The drop in trip may help. Hold The Star was well beaten on turf in the past and a visor is tried on a return. Wooden King looked a winner waiting to happen after going close at Chepstow. If the ground stays anywhere on the fast side of good, he has an obvious opportunity this afternoon. Bahkov has his first run for Andy Turnell having left the Tom Dascombe yard. Boho Chic is offered up albeit to minimum stakes.
