Our view
Best selection: The Boola Boss. Recent figures of 3 – shows some ability; a Race DNA fit of 82 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; trainer Rebecca Curtis has had 14 winners from 109 runners in our recent records.
The case against: returns from a long break, so fitness is a question; Time To Bite is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field.
Others to consider: Time To Bite and Hold Your Fort.
