The King's Steed completed a double last month but looked as though he'd had enough for the time being when well beaten at Wolverhampton on Monday. The last time Buckland Beau ran in this lowly grade he was beaten just a head at Chelmsford and is on a lower mark so must have a chance with his rider's claim a plus. SQUIRE is 1-20 on the all-weather but wasn't beaten far in a higher-class event at Chelmsford last month so is taken to double his winning tally. Buzz Lightyere has done all his winning at Brighton and returns after a long break but Settle Petal very nearly lost her maiden tag at Lingfield and has gone well around here in the past.
