Verdict
It was soft ground when BUSHFIRE finished third at Salisbury and the winner has subsequently landed a handicap. He gets the nod on that form though Mambo Beat improved at Haydock last week and Tying The Knot finished a lot closer at Sandown without threatening. Postmark should be noted representing last year’s winning yard with both Balgowan and Ve Day other newcomers to keep an eye on.
