A horrendous race for punters to solve and Guildenstern is just preferred to Just Dust and Buzzin' Boyzee. Guildenstern has not had the best of the draw of late but there can be no complaints on that score this afternoon and with the handicapper granting a little bit of respite, we can expect Jimmy Quinn to give us a good run for our money. Just Dust is very interesting. Rated in the mid 80's as a juvenile, he is now down to a mark of 55. Buzzin' Boyzee caught everyone on the hop when scoring at 25/1 in a seller. The bookies are likely to be less generous here. Chasing Memories had bits and pieces of form for Keith Goldsworthy but is now tried with Alex Hales. Golden Square is watched closely in the market for any signs of inspiration. Julian Joachim returns to the track with a first time visor. Over To You Bert is drawn widest of all and will need plenty of luck in running. Guildenstern has the draw to succeed but only carries the most minimal of our confidence.
