Patience is starting to wear thin with Save The Bees while Barren Brook has been a big disappointment so far this year. Father Time may have finally caught up with the near-white Granston but Carragold and Pravda Street, who wears a hood here, are certainly worth a second look if the market speaks in their favour and Bountiful Girl won at Carlisle on her penultimate start and is less exposed than the majority of these. JONNY LESTERS HAIR could get an uncontested lead in this finale and is handicapped to take advantage if returning to his best. He easily beat Pass Muster on identical terms at Ripon just under a year ago and could enjoy a fitness advantage over the returning Judicious.
