BOSAMCLIFF has won here before and the Daylami filly is fancied to come out on top of Rue De Cabestan, Coolnaharan and Seaquel in a race where the Irish have a strong representation. The selection was well-fancied last time out at Nottingham in a lady amateur riders' race but got going too late into third place without ever really threatening to win. She does have some form on a softer surface, including when winning at the track, and she looks worth siding with. Seaquel is unexposed and open to more improvement than many in the race, however her runs so far on soft ground have not been too hot and instead a bigger threat may come from over the Irish Sea. Coolnaharan is a decent dual-performer who has struggled off this sort of mark recently, the result of a close second at Chepstow on his British debut for the yard. Rue De Cabestan has the cheek-pieces back on today and ran well in them when third at Tipperary in September, Red Skipper is consistent but as a result looks just averagely handicapped, whilst Kool Katie is still a maiden but her latest form is strong in the context of this race. Apache Nation is well-handicapped but hasn't won for a year, Hawkit runs this track well, whilst Wednesday's Boy is a course winner and he bounced back to form last time out at Wolverhampton. A tricky finale for punters, however we are happy to plump for Bosamcliff.
