        Verdict

        Boundsy Boy has won over hurdles this year but his all-weather form leaves something to be desired. EASY EQUATION’s defeat of Kiss My face here in February has worked out well and he twice went close at Lingfield last month. After a few weeks off, he may be ready to resume winning ways. Smart Boyo has a poor strike-rate but should be in the shake-up again and Testing Faith could also figure if lasting home. Easter Icon was second over track and trip on his reappearance and is closely matched with the selection on their run together at Wolverhampton in the autumn but remains winless.
