In depth
Verdict
Sir Billy Wright is in great form but he does seem better over slightly further nowadays. Major Pusey is also going well but a further 4lb rise puts the Haydock and Newmarket winner on a new career-high mark. Elusivity's bubble was burst at Lingfield in May but will appreciate a return to Turf and Foxtrot Knight may be finding a bit of form. Bashiba is on a decent mark at present but LUCKY BEGGAR attracted significant market support at Newmarket last time and only found one too good. He's thrown in on his form of a couple of years ago and has an excellent chance of ending his losing run.
