Verdict

There was a lot to like about the way BLUNDER BUSS ran in a better grade last time out and, even though he was eventually well held, he still showed sufficient enough promise to suggest his turn isn't too far away. Arthur's Secret is 3lb better off with the selection from the last time they encountered each other and may pose a threat if he's able to dig a bit deeper than he has of late. However, recent form suggests the likes of Island Heights and Traditional Dancer may be more capable of presenting a more sustained challenge on this occasion.
