Verdict

Robin Dickin has his string in good form at the moment and a return to Towcester may provide DONTMINDDBOYS with another winning chance around a track that he’s gone well at in the past. Big Time Frank showed some improved form here last time out and looks capable of taking a race such as this while Leith Hill Legasi would have a chance if she isn’t ridden so forcefully. Bonds Conquest isn’t the soundest of propositions but did show a glimmer of ability last time out despite being pulled-up and looks more straightforward than some of the others.
