The Darling Boy is campaigned sparingly nowadays but his recent effort at Exeter was a rare poor performance and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. South Stack has gone well here in the past and is due a good run while Finding Your Feet lived up to his name at the end of last year and could figure if fully wound-up. Definite Ruby is another to consider if the blinkers have the desired effect and the step up in distance is certain to suit the filly Nellie Forbush. THORESBY races off the same mark as when landing this 12 months ago and looks to have been aimed at a repeat after last month's second at Huntingdon following a short break.
