In depth

Verdict

Another tough event for punters to unravel but GENERAL BUNCHING is given a tentative vote to pop up at a fair price as he wasn't given much of a chance by his inexperienced rider last time after showing potential on his previous run. Grand Cru hasn't taken to the surface in two runs to date but would be a big threat on his early summer victories on turf. Zero Euro is stepping up markedly in trip after her good run over a mile here last week while Cailin Coillteach has plenty to do after a moderate debut over the trip on the same card. Imprudent Miss is still a maiden but could prove best of the remainder.
