A modest handicap in which recent winning form is thin on the ground. Bushwise did beat Blackdown Warrior over course and distance last month but has been beaten twice since and the runner-up is 3lb better off. Secret Interlude seems best on the all-weather but there are possibilities about The Special One and Kingstreet Lady while Frank Bridge seemed to show improved form on his reappearance at Brighton. THE LILLSTER is a very tentative selection as she's yet to show much on Turf so far but wouldn't be far away if reproducing her latest second on Tapeta.
