Verdict
MAJOR PUSEY scored over track and trip in June and was upped in class for his latest start at Windsor. John Gallagher’s charge gets another chance at this level having beaten subsequent 6f winner and today’s rival Excellent George when winning here. Ziggy Lee won at Beverley last month and is not out of this but Justice Lady landed her double in lower grade sprints and was beaten off today’s higher mark last time. Ejbaar found one too good when favourite at Sandown last week while Princess Tansy and Burning Thread also finished second on their respective latest starts at Yarmouth.
