Kiss Kiss made up late ground to finish fifth over a longer trip here on her debut while Saorla may also improve on December’s debut effort at Kempton. But THE GANGES has switched yards since beating a subsequent winner when runner-up over 7f at Newcastle and he gets the vote on that form with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back today. Sean Woods sent out a winning newcomer earlier in the month so Boulivar is worth a second glance.
