Verdict
Symphony Time's fourth at Newmarket last month looks better form than Lady Percy's recent third at Chepstow. Graser finished seventh at Yarmouth on his debut and, with improvement expected over this longer trip, he may improve past both the aforementioned. However, one of the newcomers may be up to landing this at the first time of asking and, while Cockney Rhyme, Isobella and Whatsofunny are worth noting in the betting, a speculative vote goes to Ed Dunlop's half-sister to five winners BURSTING BUBBLES.
