Verdict

The consistent Bazart bids for a hat-trick and looks to have every chance despite a penalty for his recent C&D victory. Cruise In Style and Aughcarra were well behind the selection last time when Gulf Of Aqaba was pulled up, but Welcome Stranger went close at this track when last seen in April and could figure. Priest Field and Space Telescope are both out of sorts, while MR BACHSTER got no further than the second hurdle at Huntingdon last month. However, he was quietly fancied that day and with Victor Dartnall's string in fine form and a conditional taking 7lb off his back, he has leading claims if putting in a clear round.
