Improved to open his account at Wolverhampton in December. Found things a bit tougher from a 5 lb higher mark subsequently, though wasn't seen to best effect after 11 weeks off at Newcastle last time. Player.

Signs of ability in AW novice events in the winter but needs to find a bit more on turf/handicap debut. Has been gelded since last seen.

Fair maiden who faced a stiff task from 7 lb out of the weights on reappearance at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago. Bred to be suited by this longer trip and needs considering fitted with a first-time hood.

Big prices when down the field all 3 starts last year but he's the type to do better now handicapping/upped markedly in trip. Interesting.

13/2
Lightly-raced maiden who fared little better than last time when sixth of 11 in 1m handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City 11 days ago. Is stoutly bred however, so it is possible this longer trip could see him in a better light.

9/1
Thrice-raced maiden who offered little on qualifying run at Wolverhampton when last seen, but has been gelded and should be suited by this step up in trip on handicap debut. Likely improver.

Forecasts

Hoffman (5/4), Rushford (7/2), Octopus (13/2), Alphonse Le Grande (7/1), Campese (9/1), Buxted Reel (10/1)

Verdict

BUXTED REEL faced a stiff task on his reappearance at Kempton and remains with potential, especially now upped to a trip more in keeping with his pedigree, so he is taken to get off the mark fitted with a first-time hood. Rushford and Campese are a couple of other likely improvers in what could be an interesting race for the grade.
