      Verdict

      Boa just held on for victory over C&D last time and can actually race off a lower mark today with Amy Ryan's claim taken into account. Kames Park went close in an amateurs' race at Lingfield last week and should also be thereabouts, while Minsky Mine has improved over hurdles of late and could figure back on the Flat. Yourinthewill has claims if staying the longer trip, but the vote goes to ILLUSTRIOUS FOREST to continue winning ways. He overcame a massive hike in the weights to land a double over C&D last Monday and there looks more to come.
