Bug Boy
Good record here down the years, with form figures of 21319 highlighting two wins at 1m4f (good); also scored twice over this trip in 2023 (including on good to soft) but no wins since and he only saw the track once last year; still worth a market check ahead of his return.

From the connections
“Bug Boy deserved that. He has been running well of late and he was travelling super all the way round. I'm very happy with that. They have gone a nice gallop and I was able to get him to settle and switch off out the back. Turning in, I wanted to stay covered up for a little bit longer, but it all opened up a little quicker than I wanted. He is genuine and game, so he ran on to the line - Rhiain Ingram, jockey”
