    Verdict

    Boz can land the nightcap and complete the five-timer here at the main expense of Bold Adventure and Bank On Benny. Luca Cumani's colt could not be in better form and he won with a bit in hand here last time when he seemed to idle in front. He loves it here and we see no reason to oppose him. Bold Adventure won well here last time and he is another that is on the upgrade. He has a similar profile to our selection so is afforded plenty of respect. Bank On Benny won on his return from a break here last time, but this contest look hotter than that one and he may have to settle for a minor role on this occasion. Three Boars is better than he showed last time so he should not be dismissed lightly, but Boz has plenty in his favour and gets the vote.
