Lamya (4/1), Bounty Pursuit (9/2), Danecase (9/2), Blackheath (11/2), Vegas Boy (11/2), General Jack (10/1), Buxted Dream (10/1), Swanton Blue (12/1), Spot Lite (14/1), Chica De La Noche (33/1)

Verdict

A tight affair where nearly all the runners can be given some sort of chance with VEGAS BOY making a fair bit of appeal especially as he’s still unexposed on turf and judging by the market support the last twice connections think he’s on a good mark. Bounty Pursuit is another of interest with Silvestre De Sousa replacing the apprentice riders who have ridden him for this stable; the champion jockey used to ride him for a former stable. Swanton Blue is a player if he gets free on the lead while Blackheath is still lightly raced and has potential. Lamya can’t be ruled out with Dancase of similar ilk in an open contest.
  1. Vegas Boy
  2. Bounty Pursuit
  3. Lamya
