Verdict
BUSHMILL BOY is a long-standing maiden but the booking of Sean Bowen is certainly an interesting one and may be the factor that finally tips the scales his way. Libor Lad ran a cracker at Stratford only to find a stablemate too good at the princely odds of 50/1. Poetria is noted as Mark Walford’s only runner on the card while Lunar Glow has just her second start in handicaps and she was far from disgraced on her most recent outing up at Hexham.
