Verdict

A seller here and one not to get too heavily involved with, but recent winners Busted Flush and Hi Darl look the ones to concentrate on, with Busted Flush getting the vote. The Jamie Osborne-trained gelding put a poor all-weather effort at Wolverhampton behind him when second over 7f at Yarmouth and then successful over today's trip of 6f at Thirsk last time. A reproduction of that latest run would be enough to make it back-to-back wins here. Hi Darl, a Wolfhound filly, won a similar sort of contest at Yarmouth last time out when stepped up to this trip and there may well be more to come from her too, so the selection is unlikely to have things all his own way. Little else makes any sort of appeal as a betting proposition, though Linda Green may complete the frame, but we will side with joint top weight Busted Flush.
