In depth
Verdict
Budarri is back in form and finished ahead of GOING MOBILE at Sedgefield last time but Sam England’s charge left that form well behind when successful at Carlisle 12 days later and the latter is usually worth following once he hits a purple patch. Cudgel won again here last month but The Player Queen and Our Marty have something to prove at present and Ashjan and Fourth Of July are proving hard to place. Patagonia has had only two runs over fences and was only beaten a short-head at Wetherby but the winner has not franked the form.
