Verdict
Bug Boy is having a first run on Turf this year but did win at Kempton last month and is a previous course and distance winner. Dundory has been in good form over shorter distances but has yet to convince over this sort of trip. On The Right Track gave notice of an imminent return to his best when fifth at Newbury and has been dropped a further pound since but MISS BLENNERHASSET is improving with experience and can beat Papas Boy and the returning Breccia.
