A big field but the eye is drawn to TOO BOSSY FOR US having left his British Flat form well behind when an excellent second in a big-field handicap at the Curragh a month ago. Emmet Mullins has a trio of interesting runners, with Toll Stone perhaps the pick of them, while at longer odds, Westminster Moon is very well handicapped on his German form and represents very shrewd connections.
