BOHER LAD, into the veteran stage, holds his form well and has struck up a good rapport with useful conditional Charlie Todd on recent starts and the combination may notch a second success in three starts despite being upped another couple of pounds for a worthy runner-up effort at Hexham. Trip and ground are fine. Course and distance winner Eddy was much more like it here last time and has every chance if in the same form here and I'm In Charge is another veteran with claims having returned to action last time with a respectable run after 18 months off. Mind Your Back looks the sort to do better now going into handicap company for the first time.
