Bouboule is our selection at Hexham, and the case rests on a fitness edge that justifies preferring him to Drumlee Myth, who is only 5 lb better on our figures. He sits within touching distance of the leading trio at 81, and over 20 furlongs on good ground that sharpness could prove decisive. Drumlee Myth is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, while Order Another One at 84 and Knockeranna Rose at 82 are both closely matched and cannot be dismissed. The bottom three look well short of this quartet, so we side with Bouboule, though it is a tight call.
