Tito Bustillo was the best of these over hurdles but his stamina will have to be taken on trust over this trip and he didn't show a great deal on his chasing bow at Perth. This may be yet another for Donald McCain as SEEDLESS will have been well schooled and is likely to make this a good gallop as she's already won over 3m and on soft ground. Mystified is on a long losing run and was tailed off over C&D last month.
