In depth
Verdict
This looks less competitive than the previous division with BUXTED DREAM having obvious claims. Beaten a length at Yarmouth on his reappearance, Luca Cumani’s colt looks to have the strongest form on offer. The remainder with racecourse experience have yet to show any worthwhile form so it would be no surprise if the newcomer Express Lady, a half-sister to four winners, is good enough to get involved on her debut.
