Milton Bradley runs both Boanerges and Devious Ayers, both have to be respected in this company, however we will give the vote to Fenwicks Pride. The selection appears to be coming tio the boil with two promising recent efforts. The latest was over the seven furlong trip when chasing home Tipsy Lad, he is just as effective over this distance and looks the safest option. Boanerges hasn't won for a long time, but is down to a very handy mark. He is making his Wolverhampton debut but if he handles the surface he could go well at decent odds. Devious Ayers hasn't raced over this trip since his 2003 debut, but he has undoubted speed and should be involved in the finish. Of the others Jacks Delight has shown bits and pieces of form and is another to consider for each-way purposes, however our idea of the winner is Fenwicks Pride.
