Verdict
MAY'S BOY has been raised 5lb for his recent victory at Kempton but wasn't unduly stretched, with the re-opposing Rezwaan nearly three lengths behind, and is taken to follow up. Marvo ran a shocker at Beverley last time having won over a longer trip here before that and L'Hirondelle followed suit when finishing last at Kempton after going close over 7f here on his penultimate start. But Officer In Command returned to the Flat with a good effort at Kempton earlier this month and the handicapper has given him a chance by allowing him to run off the same mark here.
