        Verdict

        A number of these have a chance on the book, but a high draw may make the difference, and for that reason Bundy is just preferred to Chairman Bobby. The latter has been very progressive since being dropped back to sprint trips and holds sound claims here, but is poorly drawn and would probably not want much more rain either. Fairgame Man has twice run well over this course and distance earlier in the season, and has decent claims from a good draw. Speedfit Free is in excellent form but has a stiff task at the weights, while Friar Tuck couldn't be ruled out if plenty of rain arrives, but Bundy loves a stiff six furlongs, and won over this course and distance earlier in the year. His latest effort under an amateur can be ignored, as he had an impossible draw, but he is not badly housed in box eight this time around and this tough sort holds sound claims in this tricky affair.
