In depth

Verdict

Against All Odds was third behind Lady Bowes here earlier in the month when ahead of Tara Kay, who ran green. Bucks Dream was only beaten a neck at Stratford and is improving with experience but the vote goes to BIG JIM DWYER, who showed promise for Joseph O’Brien last season in Ireland and has joined a yard with a good strike-rate in bumpers. Bayfriars Bobby is a half-brother to an Irish bumper winner so is worth a market check.
