The Wonga Coup is now a pound lower than when winning at Kempton a little under a year ago but hasn't been in great form lately. BUSTER BROWN, on the other hand, appears to have come back to his best and is still fairly treated on his Turf form despite winning by four lengths at Wolverhampton. He can go in again as Sutton Sid's best efforts lately have come on soft going. Paddy's Saltantes and Petersboden look the pick of the remainder.
