        Verdict

        Delagate The Lady won over track and trip in May but hasn’t figured since while Tomshalfbrother may do better today dropping back down in class. Excellent George slides further down the weights looking to end a long losing run and finished in front of Aces at Yarmouth last time but BUSBY finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the handicap with a better effort at Kempton. The return to this shorter trip will suit and he’s also preferred to Alehandro and Swooper, who both debut for new yards.
