BHUBEZI has a strong chance of going in again having won an apprentices’ race at Newbury. He not only escapes a penalty for that success but Jonny Peate is also allowed to utilise his 7lb allowance on this occasion. Eminent Hipster was beaten in a handicap before landing a novices race at Windsor but Billhilly had been in good form before disappointing at Carlisle and beat Visibility when scoring at Nottingham in April. Roman Dynasty is fitted with headgear today and preferred to Clarendon Cross of the rest.

Eminent Hipster (IRE) 4-1 (9-2) Made all, going nicely over 2f out, pushed along and pressed under 2f out, edged left but pulled length ahead entering final 1f, soon in control and pushed out hands and heels inside final furlong, well on top late on, won at Windsor 1m stks (5) sft in Jul beating Neenee's Choice (9-2) by 2 1/4l, 14 ran.
