A winner at Nottingham, He's My Boy went close again at Brighton last time but is upped a further 3lb. Mithqaal was placed over 7f on his latest start and Port Paradise was runner-up over track and trip three weeks ago. Roxie Lot has struggled since dead-heating for first at Kempton in April so a chance is taken on FOUR POETS continuing his progress having won a maiden race at Catterick last month with a couple of subsequent winners filling the places. Hollywood Road returns to action having slipped down the weights last year and Frankie’s presence in the saddle takes the eye.
