Ticks The Boxes has been gradually dropping in the ratings and ran a bit better at Redcar. He'll be ridden by an experienced jockey for the first time in a while and should get into contention. Bingo George was gaining his first victory in 23 starts when scooting home from today's rival Tasaaboq here three weeks ago. He's up 8lb but, though this is a similar event, he may be worth opposing. FANTASY JUSTIFIER is on a long losing run but is generally consistent and the assessor looks to have given him a chance of regaining the winning thread. First Excel has been struggling since a 6lb rise for winning at Newcastle back in January while Sarabi hasn't shown much despite a 10lb drop in the past year. Bold Spirit has had 51 starts and won three times on Turf but has only had one all-weather run back in 2014.
