Buffer Zone is likely to be popular after his cosy win at the Curragh last weekend and he's well in on official ratings but it might be worth taking a chance on GEORGE BOWEN who finds himself 6lb below his last winning handicap mark and gets conditions to suit. Intisaab is another well-handicapped contender who represents David O'Meara, 2014's winning trainer of this contest. Bacchus is likely to be primed for this having failed to land back-to-back renewals of the Wokingham when last seen.
