Verdict

Richard Hughes makes the dash across from Royal Ascot to take the ride on BABY BUSH and that is a big enough hint for us to be getting involved. Richard Hannon's filly was a ready winner at Newmarket on a softer surface but she is more than capable of acting on better ground having done so on her debut at Newbury. William Muir's horses are running well so Alice's Dancer has to be viewed as a big danger if she can bring her Brighton form to the table. Saucy Minx is another that has been performing with credit at the south coast venue, though she'll need a career-best performance in order to win this. Plover was sold out of Sir Michael Stoute's stable for 105,000 guineas last winter so current connections will be hoping to see something sooner rather than later from the Kempton maiden winner.
