Verdict
BOOM BOOM had shown promise in bumpers and though well beaten on his hurdles bow at Ascot, he posted a better effort at Chepstow last time before falling. Further progress looks likely on his second start after wind surgery and this won't take much winning. Dylan's Double was well beaten at Taunton having shown some potential at Exeter earlier but the rest are hard to recommend though Dunstall Rambler represents last year's winning yard.
