Verdict

BARBURY BOY looked promising when beating one that has won twice since at Beverley on handicap debut and can bounce back from a blip at Haydock returned to this trip. Mudita is open to further progress stepping into handicap company, while Mr Bollinger is totally unexposed and needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

5	Strong form when winning at Beverley on handicap debut at this trip in April, the second having won twice since, and, though he flopped when fourth of 6 at Haydock upped to 1½m 25 days ago, he raced freely that day and will be much better suited by this drop back in distance so can resume progress. 1st Pick 5 Barbury Boy Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: Alan King J: Tom Marquand T: Alan King	100	-	-	-	36%
