Verdict
BUXTED DREAM was only beaten a length over 7f here last month and got even closer last time at Chelmsford. Luca Cumani’s grey should handle the drop back to 6f and looks the one to beat. Tundra looked progressive on Polytrack in the autumn and she should be placed to good effect this year. Meyrick has only run twice but was last on his first start since being gelded at Leicester.
