Verdict
Bull Market gets the vote to break his maiden tag at the second time of asking with Duty and Bouzouki rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Salt Man. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat. Duty rates the main danger as he is a well bred sort from a top yard and he will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. However, the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over further in time and for that reason he is opposed. Bouzouki is another worthy of respect as he showed improved form to be third last time out, but he looked one paced on that occasion and again he looks vulnerable over this trip. Of the remainder, All The Good showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another that looks sure to improve but in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Bull Market.
