Borough Boy has been in decent form on the all-weather but has a poor strike rate on Turf. DOMINATE made a very promising start for new trainer George Scott when just touched of by Ladweb over this trip at Ripon last week. He races off the same mark here and a similar effort would probably suffice. Elusivity and Midnight Rider are more than capable of transferring form on artificial surfaces to Turf and could figure but Wolverhampton runner-up Jaarih probably needs to up his game.
