Verdict
On The Cusp's 6lb penalty and a step up in class look enough to prevent him from following-up and though Count Ceprano will have come on for his reappearance, he's still 10lb higher than when landing a hat trick last summer. MISS BOUNTY makes much more appeal as she went close over C&D on her penultimate start and this is less competitive. Jim Boyle's mare gets the nod ahead of Ermyntrude and Rodrigo De Freitas, who both have place claims.
