      Verdict

      Llamadas has been raised a further 3lb for finishing runner-up over track and trip last time when just behind Albonny. The latter went on to beat ARASHI at Nottingham but Derek Shaw's charge had won his previous two starts at this track including a victory over course and distance and he's just preferred in this. Almost Gemini does just enough and scored by a neck to land a double at Wolverhampton in April but Bold Adventure ran out a more convincing winner at Lingfield in the same month. Boston Blue faces a tougher task than when scoring here a fortnight ago but still makes more appeal than Neighbourhood, who has done all his winning at Southwell so far.
