Mr Boss Man scored over track and trip before going in again over 2m here while the veteran Zakatal has been enjoying a new lease of life, winning twice over course and distance in his last three starts and beating Wildomar and Heart Locket in the process. THE KID has gone close on a couple of occasions since winning his maiden last year, including over 1m4f here last time. This longer trip is not a problem and John Quinn's charge can land his first handicap. Todd has been thereabouts over longer trips of late and Irish raider Asian Wing drops in class.
