Verdict

BEN BUIE hasn't looked back since the visor went on and is fancied to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and complete a quick hat-trick with this return to a longer trip also a plus. Lord Sparky is feared most on the back of his recent Huntingdon success, although in-form duo Rafferty and Caro des Flos both warrant plenty of respect too in an open handicap.
