Verdict

RIKOBOY has been resurgent following a switch back to chasing in recent months, successful at Market Rasen prior to a fine second from a 13 lb higher mark at Musselburgh last month. The handicapper has applied further pressure but he looks sure to go well again in this groove. Fellow 5-y-o Zoffee, on the back of a break, is feared, along with Getaway Trump.
