Verdict
WHO AM I probably need only reproduce his latest second at Ffos Las to go one better here as he's getting 4lb from another recent Ffos Las runner-up, Vujiyama, not taking into account Jack Savage's claim. Last season's champion conditional Sean Bowen rides Di Hamer's nine-year-old. By The Boardwalk looked all over the winner over 3m at Huntingdon last time but weakened close home and was overhauled. The drop in trip might help and he makes more appeal than Thinger Licht and the returning Kap West.
