Verdict

THE BOG BANK is down to 2 lb lower than when successful over C&D in July and might prove the answer to this tricky apprentice race. Exquisite Acclaim was a good third here a fortnight ago and rates an obvious threat for the Ado McGuinness team. Harbanaker is also respected on the back of his latest course fourth.
