There are plenty of course specialists in this but, compared to the likes of Lihou and Arcanada, BOSSIPOP (NAP) is well drawn in stall four. He was raised 3lb after winning over track and trip last month but may take some pegging back again if grabbing an early lead. With Penwortham and Gabrial The Devil engaged her yesterday and Powerallied best over 5f, Brian The Snail looks the pick of Richard Fahey’s quartet of entries despite still looking a few pounds too high. Big Les followed up a win at Ayr with a third at Windsor so can’t be ignored.
