Verdict

A host in with chances but BOASTY is going through a good spell at the moment so he gets the tentative nod to get off the mark for his current handler and double his career tally in the process. Dr Patrick is getting better with each recent run so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Alhaajeb, Arctic Blaze and Sam Missile.

  1. BOASTY (IRE)
