BOLDMERE looked on good terms with himself when scoring at Doncaster on his second run back from a lengthy absence and, if in a similar mood here, it's unlikely that a 6 lb rise will be enough to prevent him from going in again. The hat-trick seeking Cyclop can be expected to put in another good shift but the selection may have more to fear from Chirico Vallis, who has slipped to an attractive mark, and Saint Xavier.
