Verdict

Bocamix got his nose in front over track and trip in December at odds of 16/1. Today's rival HONEST STRIKE was less than a length away in third however and, as the latter is much more reliable, he's taken to reverse running and come out best on this occasion. Lakeman has been placed here more than once and has a decent shout off his current mark but Irish raider Waterloo Sunrise was winning his first race in 20 starts at Dundalk last time and is 7lb higher today. Turjuman went close at this track off a higher mark at this time last year and looks best of the rest.
