Verdict

DUSSHERA had no problem justifying favouritism at the Surrey Union meet last month. Phil York's mare has now rattled up a hat-trick and she can make the most of her allowance in this. Earl Grez is usually thereabouts but has a terrible strike rate. He may have to settle for a place again here while Montauk Highway has questions to answer having been pulled up last time. Irish Rebel has more to do than when winning at Puckridge but Bit Of A Clown has the form to figure and makes more appeal than Just Bridget.
