Verdict

MAMMIES BOY was progressive for Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill when last seen 10 months ago and gets the tentative nod to go in again starting out for a new yard in a first-time tongue tie with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. Le Soleil Reve is yet to run a bad race and may have to settle for a third consecutive silver medal in handicaps, with last-time-out winner Laughing John and Kiwi Rush another couple worth considering, too.
