Little Boy Boru was narrowly beaten at Huntingdon last time and has been raised 6lb for his trouble. CHLOE’S COURT (NAP) is preferred on last month’s third in a tougher handicap here behind Ostuni given Bob Walford’s mare drops in class on her second start after wind surgery and the return to a longer trip will also suit. Course regular Jimmy won over a shorter trip here at the end of last year while King Cool was placed over these obstacles in January without threatening the winner and is back on a winning mark.
