Verdict

These have the appearance of a fairly motley crew on recent evidence and it is hard to be confident in many of them. BOYTONRATH is at least coming here on the upgrade, having shown fair improvement last time to be second on handicap debut under this rider for the first time, a 3lb rise seems fair and this is a decent chance to open his account with trainer in superb form. Bective Cave has a pair of wins this summer but is now seemingly handicapped beyond his best. Ardview Boy likes to be up with the pace, which might prove useful if he settles, while Boston Oscar and Sierra Law have recently shown some very tentative signs of encouragement.
