1/1

7/1, made light of 8 months off when landing apprentices handicap at Doncaster (10f) 3 days ago. Will prove as effectivee over this longer trip and weighted to go in again off an unchanged mark here.

Buford (1/1), Detective (10/3), Act Of Magic (9/2), Idilico (8/1), Tarnhelm (10/1), Viceregent (10/1), Molinari (14/1), Lochnaver (20/1), Star Dreamer (25/1), Spantik (28/1)

BUFORD is turned out quickly having opened his account at Doncaster on Saturday and he looks hard to beat given he escape a penalty for that apprentice handicap victory. Three-time course winner Detective appeals as the one to chase home Grant Tuer's improver, with recent Ripon scorer Act of Magic next on the list.
