A bunch to view positively but this represents a significant drop in class for BASHFUL BOY having contested the staying handicap at Glorious Goodwood 4 weeks ago and back on his correct mark, he rates a major player. Stand Strong is at the other end of the weights but he's arriving on the up, while Trojan Sun and Elemental Eye were both unsuited by the slow pace in the same C&D race latest.
