Verdict

BUSSENTO (1) is coming off a last-start second, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 7f at this track in a tougher field. Credentials are hard to fault, and he has a big chance to crack his track duck. CRACKING GOLD (3) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the D & C Kubler yard. Finished off his last campaign with a fifth at Newbury five months ago. He has not been seen at the trials but looks well placed, and with top hoop Ebrahim Nader in the irons, he can give this a big shake. PURE DREAMER (2) opened this prep last start with a fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m at this track. Has solid credentials, so include him in all combinations. ARCTIC GREY (9) returns from a spell of three months and is having his first run for the powerful local Paul Smith. Stable jockey Lee Newman picks up the ride, and the pair merits healthy respect.
