Verdict

Sea Fox has the best form on offer in this having only found one too good so far at Newbury and Salisbury. He'll be fancied to make it third-time lucky but WHAT A BOY could be a viable alternative. Ralph Beckett's Paco Boy gelding was supported to beat the useful Groupie on his debut at Windsor but blew the start and then ran green. He'll know more today and the winner and third in that race have won since. Quick Thought was only beaten half-a-length when second on his debut at Chelmsford and Al Fujairah is a half-brother to a 7f winner in Ireland and represents a powerful yard.
