Verdict

NOT BAD FOR A BOY is hard to oppose in this. He's clear on official ratings and has the best recent form, winning at Lingfield before his fourth in a decent handicap here last time. Tiablo disappointed at this track in October, but went close at Kempton before that and she makes more appeal than Crowning Star, who has lost his way since landing a maiden back in July. Recent winner One More Roman would figure if taking part though he was engaged to run at Kempton yesterday.
