Towards the rear of 14 in a handicap at Fairview Polytrack last month; all wins on all-weather; not always shown an awful lot since winning a juvenile plate at Fairview Polytrack last June; might find this company a little easier but not likely to get competitive

Too good for several of these in a handicap last month (Fairview Polytrack) when a 1l winner on his second outing for this trainer; has only won on all-weather; bids for hat-trick; this just his second run in a handicap; more on his plate but sets the standard

Verdict

CAITLYNS BOY is a confident pick. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Slim Jannie, Kuznetsov and Russian Empire last month and has been a winner over the trip. A hike in the weights makes life harder for Son Of Zeus while it could be worth forgiving Madame Vicki a poor run last time, and there is a question mark over whether Kilmonivaig will be effective over this trip.
