Verdict
MISS BUNTER won a C&D maiden early last month and scored on her handicap debut here on Wednesday. David O'Meara's filly hasn't stopped improving yet and can defy a penalty and follow-up. Sandy Lane has improved markedly since tackling Polytrack and looks certain to make a bold bid to complete a hat-trick though he also carries a 6lb penalty as does Methaaly, who was having his 133rd start when gaining a shock victory here last week. Bitaphon began last year on a 7lb higher mark and though inconsistent can't be dismissed in this sort of class.
