Verdict

Emigrated completed a course and distance double in March but went off the boil in two starts the next month and hasn't run subsequently. Gavin Cromwell has an outstanding strike-rate with his UK runners and looks to have found another opportunity for EARL OF BUNNACURRY (NAP). He made his handicap debut at Southwell last week and though finding a mile on the short side battled to his first victory. He's only 2lb higher despite a penalty and should go in again. Amherst Rock lost his maiden tag on this surface at Newcastle and looks certain to go well with just 3lb extra to carry while the consistent Jeremy's Jet is only 1lb higher than his only victory though that was in a Class 7 handicap.
