Boost bids for hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark and has every chance but slight preference is for GILGAMESH in a competitive affair. The latter won on his handicap debut over track and trip when beating Tailor’s Row and collateral form gives him the edge over Vatican Hill and Espresso Freddo, who both beat the same horse when winning earlier. Tafaakhor went close at Doncaster when last in action and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today while Spinwheel landed a double at Newcastle before beaten in this higher grade last time.
