        Verdict

        Bob's Buster was very unlucky at Wetherby last week and can make amends here, with Midlem Melody and Sharpastrizam his two main dangers. Bob's Buster has been in terrific form this term, reeling off victories at Hexham, Doncaster and Sedgefield with the minimum of fuss, and looked all set to go in again when coming to grief at Wetherby 10 days ago. Cruising upsides Manawanui coming to the final fence, he unseated Kenny Johnson who will make sure he sits tight today. Other than that blip, he has been a model of consistency, and it is not hard to see why he is the star in Bob Johnson's yard. Midlem Melody has the assistance of Graham Lee so will get every assistance in the saddle, while Sharpastrizam will give all as usual and will be staying on. Red Hustler and Salvage may make their presence felt without being up to the task and Bob's Buster is a confident choice.
