More Buck's placed at Stratford without threatening the winner while High Noon finished second over a shorter trip here back in March and returns to action. But PAKIE’S DREAM (NAP) can race off the same mark as when scoring over hurdles at Musselburgh last month and having earlier gone close over fences here with Fr Humphrey back in third, Jennie Candlish’s charge should make another bold bid. The Manuscript and Linenhall continue to struggle despite sliding further down the weights.
