Verdict

King Arthurs Sword is the only one of these to show decent form on the Flat though his two latest runs were very poor. Buzz Light was a 300/1 chance when making his racecourse debut in a Fairyhouse Grade three in which he predictably finished a long way last. Master Cornwall and Silvertown are possible improvers but in a very moderate contest a chance is taken on DIDN'TSLEEPAWINK, who makes his debut for J P McManus with Mark Walsh on board.
