Verdict

SOMETHING ROYAL (4) runs along and deserved the Bunbury Maiden win. Draws inside again and keeps the gun hoop. Peaks and can go on with the job. RAPID ROCK (1) led and won in stronger at Ascot. Carries a lot more weight but drops back to the shorter sprint and rate a danger. BOSISTO (2) comes back a few levels off an Ascot placing. He also has claims. EL FOXIE (3) debuts and has trialled nicely here. Draws inside and the late betting will be key.
