Verdict

An intriguing match between the potentially above average pair Buster Valentine and I'M TO BLAME, with Informateur the only other possible player. Ruth Jefferson thinks the world of her recent Ayr winner and she probably has a solid form line with the Dalgleish-trained rival based upon his bumper form with Return Ticket. However, as a brother to the 2m6f hurdles scorer Showem Silver, it's entirely possible that the selection will fare better still now upped in trip.
  1. I'm To Blame
  2. Buster Valentine
