Verdict
The Newland team deliver strong summers and I'M SO BUSY has already contributed to their tally this season with a course and distance win 20 days ago. The former Jessica Harrington inmate controlled that contest throughout and appeared to score with plenty in hand, suggesting he can repeat the dose under a penalty. Aumerle, a three-time winner on the all-weather, looks the likeliest one to foil the follow-up attempt after a pleasing effort on just a second start over timber and receives 10lb with his useful jockey's allowance factored in. Catbird Seat was a consistent sort on the Flat and looks quite an interesting recruit to hurdles for Alan King.
