Verdict

BUXTED REEL's handicap hurdle debut fourth suggests he has a race in him from this sort of mark. Last week's C&D runner-up Init Together rates an obvious danger, while Rukaana had a possible excuse last time and could play a prominent role if bouncing back to the level of his Market Rasen second prior to that.
