We said4th of 6, beaten 5 at 25/1
BUST A MOON 25/1
STARTLING is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, at a track where making the running is worth a little (front-runners win 1.8 times their share).
BUST A MOON at 25/1, Derek Shaw and Darragh Keenan, is the one I want to be on here. He races off a mark 12lb below the 58 it won from back in May 2025, should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 11 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are INVINCIBLE CROWN at 7/1 (well handicapped) and MIMIME at 11/1 (went close off this mark).
