In depth

Verdict

How Bizarre broke smartly from a wide draw over a mile here 10 days ago and made all. He’s 5lb higher in the weights today but should still confirm that form with fourth Going Underground. However, there is a chance he could set the race up for a finisher with BREGUET BOY (NAP), who stays much further, an obvious candidate. A good run from Cosa Sara in the first division would boost the claims of Ayr runner-up Bulls Aye.
