Kirkham is 0-14 under Rules but ran well enough last time to suggest a prominent showing here, though may have to play second fiddle once again with SIEGE OF BOSTON getting the vote. The latter ran well when a good fourth over 6f in a Pontefract handicap latest and will appreciate moving up a furlong, the trip over which he secured a first career success in February. Tanawar is on a fair enough mark to prove competitive with Endeavour another possible, although yet to confirm effectiveness over this trip. Taskeen, another former Hannon inmate, could also get involved off a career-low mark and is one to note in the market.
