Verdict

BUNDY (7) paid the believer's when backed off the board to score fresh up here last week over 1m, and the extra 2f won't bother him one bit. The heavy ground is another plus, and he should go close to repeating the dose. CONEY ISLAND (8) tried hard when digging deep to finish second in a similar field to this 7-days ago over 1 ?m, and he will relish the extra 1f here. A wide draw won't matter on heavy ground, and he can go one better. BALANCE OF POWER (9) is unbeaten over this trip, and he gets out to this distance for the first time this prep. The heavy ground is the query for us, but he can still figure in the top 4, so don't drop him. JUNGLELAND (10) built strongly for a well-deserved win here on the first day, and the quick turnaround won't be an issue at his fifth start back from a spell. Stick with him. TAVI ANN (11) was doing her best work late here 7-days ago when finishing sixth, and if she can get into the clear at the right time, she can have the last say.
