Little Boy Boru could be interesting for each-way purposes as he’s a dour stayer, though in the veteran stage now. Mr Washington is flying so worth a try over this longer trip but FORTUNATE GEORGE was a winner over track and trip the last time he raced off a mark this low and he gets blinkers to aid his cause today. Last year’s winner Urtheonethatiwant also warrants close inspection despite being 6lb higher than 12 months ago. Board Of Trade is on a long losing run, however, and Florrie Knox may have stamina limitations. Stung For Cash is unexposed but only beat one home at Carlisle.
