Verdict
Bungley won a lower grade nursery at Musselburgh recently with previous winner Sun Rising back in third. Galileo Glass made a winning start in handicaps when scoring over 6f at Doncaster but is 10lb higher today and KNIGHT RIDER is preferred. The latter makes his handicap debut on the back of a novice success over today’s trip at Ripon and is taken to confirm running with the runner-up Alpine Lady on similar terms. Fozzie Bear should stay this far and may prove best of the rest.
