Verdict

Several in with chances but TURBOCHARGED made an encouraging start when third in a Newbury bumper back in November. With that form proving notably strong, he's fancied to get off the mark at the expense of Nightflyer, who was and impressive winner at Catterick 6 weeks ago and has since switched yards for 95,000 gns. Locker Boum and Old Clayesmorian round off the shortlist.

5	€28,000 3-y-o, £100,000 4-y-o, Buck's Boum gelding. Closely related to 3 winners, including fairly useful French chaser Hockney Vallis, and half-brother to 19f hurdle winner in France Kelya.
