BUYER BEWARE can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him to take this novices' handicap chase. The selection was a winner on his penultimate start and he can get the better of What's The Scoop who is seeking a first career success. Third place can go the way of Bleu Et Noir who is making his debut over fences.
