Verdict
Gingli appeals most of those close to the head of the weights as he has fitness guaranteed and ran well here on his reappearance last month. Raised 3lb for that run, he should remain competitive with trip and ground to suit. Boher Lad has enjoyed a profitable 2017 to date but the handicapper has wreaked considerable revenge and he may not quite be good enough off his new mark. Our Folly is respected off a decent mark and he'll be all the better for a sharpener on the Flat in mid-April, whilst the very lightly-raced Centuro could be very interesting off this weight if putting a poor run behind him last time, although he did possibly need the run. Watch him in the market. IT'S OSCAR scored over course and distance just eight days ago and is taken to follow up in receipt of weight from all rivals bar one despite this rating an admittedly better contest.
