BOOGIE WALTZER caught the eye with her Lingfield siccess last time and even though this is a vastly different surface she is taken to defy a penalty, while dangers come in the form of Ya Boy Sir and Turf Time. The Stuart Williams-trained selection was a comfortable winner of a handicap over this trip when rated 56, and has to lump around an extra 6lbs today. Being by Toubougg and as a soft ground performer on turf, there is every chance that she will act on this slow surface today and so we will take her to follow up. Ya Boy Sir ran with credit behind The Love Guru here over 6f last month and is worth another try at the minimum trip after just one abortive attempt so far, at Wolverhampton. From this mark he should be competitive on this testing surface. Turf Time has been put up 2lbs after pushing Billie Jean all the way over course and distance a month or so ago. That was his first show of form of any note and he may be able to build on it with some more prize money. Wherever he is then Lets Move It will probably not be far away, and David Probert is an eyecatching booking for Derek Shaw's colt. Caol Ila is another capable of improvement, though the jury is out as to whether she acts on this surface after her run last time and we will side with Boogie Waltzer.
