Boom To Bust won a couple of races in Ireland last year and will have come on for last month's outing over hurdles when making his debut for a new trainer. Dubawi Island is a leading contender on his recent efforts in similar handicaps and Desert Vision is certainly good enough on his best form but was a big disappointment in a claimer at this track last time. SPIFER found the progressive Alfred Hutchinson too good when third over track and trip three weeks ago but that still looks the best recent form on offer and Marco Botti's charge gets the vote.
