The in-form Temper Trap was entered in the 4.30 Beverley yesterday but would have solid claims if turning up here. Tim Easterby also has Devilwala and Bungley engaged but they will be outsiders. Star Shield has won twice this year while a return to a quicker surface saw Arranmore back in the frame at Pontefract. Bowland Park has every chance on his comeback second at Haydock and Roman Dynasty has done nothing wrong since winning easily at Nottingham in June but rain-softened ground would not have helped EY UP ITS THE BOSS’ cause at York last month and he holds Global Spirit and Diamond Haze on an earlier second at Ripon.
