Formscan  - Several of these are old rivals and there is little to choose between the likes of The Thames Boatman, Star Chorus and Master Of My Fate based on recent encounters. However, MICHAELA'S BOY has a good record on Polytrack and this now dual C&D winner could be the answer bidding to follow up after resuming winning ways here 19 days ago. Having won off this mark before, a 5lb rise is workable for Robert Cowell's six-year-old.
