In depth
Verdict
Currency was a most progressive performer last term landing five handicaps over this trip and showed that he ws ready to strike when a strong finishing runner-up behind an in-form rival at Ayr last week. Bundy will find this tougher having been beaten narrowly in an amateurs event last time while Haulage Man shapes as though he will appreciate a return to further.
