Bugsy¿s Boy has been in great from of late and is taken to land his hat-trick at the expense of King¿s Fable and No Greater Love. The selection has wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract behind him and although he runs off a career high he looks an improver and one to stay on the right side of. King¿s Fable runs off a 4 pound higher mark since winning at Wolverhampton last month. He comes into the race in good order and has to be noted in the market. As does No Greater Love who was not seen for over a year before having a run over hurdles in January. He only has a handful of flat run to his name but was rated as high as 107 over hurdles. He carries top weight here and as a result will possibly be best watched. So for the winner we return to Bugsy¿s Boy.
