Busby bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having won an amateurs' race last time and has the beating of several of these including Hooflepuff. Kentucky Kingdom won a lower grade contest here at the start of the year but DREAM HARDER made a winning debut for Ian Williams’ yard when scoring over a shorter trip at the track. He stays this far and can go in again. Super Stars is fitted with a tongue-tie and may prove best of the rest.
