Siege Of Boston carries 6lb extra after landing a gamble at Chelmsford last week. He’s not badly treated on last year’s best form in Ireland but KEENE’S POINTE gets another chance in this. He’s been thereabouts on his last couple of starts over track and trip and has won off a higher mark here in the past. Doeadeer was runner-up over 6f here last time having slipped down the handicap while Wink Oliver and the returning Bounty Pursuit are others with a shout off their current marks.
