Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Too Bossy For Us
Too Bossy For Us is the highest-rated runner here and has shown recent course form over a shorter trip where she ran with promise; effective at fourteen to sixteen furlongs on a sound surface and the stable has a record in this event. Delta and Kilmeaden are the main dangers — Delta's reappearance run here was full of promise and he appears ready to progress over the longer trip, while Kilmeaden stayed on well at this course last time and acts at the distance. The Shunter also has course form from a long-term absence. Too Bossy For Us is our selection.
