4/1
David Menuisier’s Lost Boys has improved with every run so far and has developed into a smart handicapper this term. It’s worth noting that he finished third behind Bow Echo on debut and he completed his hat-trick in a good handicap at Newbury last time out. It’s reasonable to assume that there’s more to come from him and a 7lb rise might not be enough to stop him.
