Paul Midgley's pair, Buccaneers Vault and Saluti merit respect coming here in form as they do, while NORMANDY BARRIERE was a good second to the former at Redcar last time, and would look well handicapped on his old form, accepting that he's not got his head in front for a while. That was his first start after a breathing operation, and he's worth a chance to build on it as a result.
