      In depth

      Verdict

      King Boru will almost certainly improve on his fifth at Huntingdon while it will be interesting to see if there is any market support for ex-pointer Exotic Friend. Jimmy Sewell was only beaten half-a-length by the gambled-on Lurcher over 1m5f here last month but BOBBYJACK's second to Koolala over track and trip looks the best form on offer and he is Choc Thornton's only booked ride. The Scorpion gelding can go one better today.
