THE YELLOW BUS had decent form in Ireland at the start of her career. Things haven’t always gone to plan since she arrived in the UK and she’s with yet another new trainer but the mare did win at Wolverhampton last July off a 10lb higher mark and it will be a surprise if Johnny Farrelly can’t place her to good effect. Hipz is pretty consistent but 0-11 around here. Garth Rockett led until inside the final furlong here last time on his return from a break and will strip fitter today while six-times course winner Bertie Blu Boy has been hinting at a revival. Space War is defending an unbeaten record at the track and could also be interesting but fellow veteran Perfect Pastime might need the run and Viola Park is probably a few pounds too high now.
