Boy The Bell has more to do than when winning a seller at Ripon while the hat-trick seeking Choc'a'moca has never won in this grade and Ingleby Arch looked as though he might be ready for a rest when only fifth at Hamilton earlier this month, though did finish ahead of Burnwynd Boy at the same track the time before. Red Cape was just beaten off today's mark at Thirsk last time, however, and has to come into contention again but we narrowly prefer APACHE RIDGE who arguably has the better draw and is much improved this season. Just touched off at Windsor 11 days ago after winning at Pontefract, Keith Dalgleish's gelding can give champion Paul Hanagan another winner. Feel The Heat, visored for the first time, may be best of the rest.
