Boxhall can land this at the expense of Ronsard and Ostfanni. The selection has won of a mark of seventy in the past and now comes here off a winning mark after putting in some fine efforts in defeat of late. He caught the eye when third to Toparundi at Musselburgh last time out and looks like his first win for two years is only around the corner. Ronsard won the worst race in history at Chepstow last week but ran possibly a better race when fourth at York the very next day. He will win races but he is also moderate so is best watched for the time being. Ostfanni is a better prospect after a recent win at Musselburgh. He is only four pound higher as a result so can be a live contender here. But for the winner we return to Boxhall.
