Verdict
Bonecrusher is an improving individual,but he will need to be to win of this mark. He seems to handle most types of ground and should give his running. The filly Spinney, by Unfuwain, looks sure to appreciate the ground and will not be far away, while Stratus will be having his first outing on turf, having only raced on the polytrack so far. Leadership turned in a solid performance at Kempton, but he may not want the ground to soft.
