Decent end to the day with two very good winners.
Bumpers definitely my forte and Premier Queen was a confident selection the last time, so it was good to see Polla Milano fully frank the form this afternoon. I was lucky to pick up a very good word for the handicap Debutant in the last at 5.25 Snowy Burrows, so slipped it in as a normal selection on a very poor day for me. Good to see Brian Hughes pick up another winner.

4.25
Dundalk

Kuwait Direction each way
Sunset Nova Win.
Ran well at the Curragh on Sunday from stall 22 winner from stall 3. In the box seat here from stall 1 running at top of game. Point to remember though this is a claimer not a handicap.

KD
Hardly tried at this trip but as a youngster was a nose 2nd at Doncaster.
Ran 10th the in the Coventry stakes at ascot.
97 rated first mark. Down to mid 70s
Would certainly bolt up in a handicap and possibly run to his standard now. With Trainer who plots and one of four runners here and unbacked so hard to be sure of his chances here.

Beaten comfortably into 2nd.

Was a clear winner last time out and can go in again here.
