Peter Bowen’s runners are always worth a second look here but More Buck's has something to prove now having been pulled up at Market Rasen two weeks ago in a race won by Potterman. The latter had been put firmly in his place earlier at Bangor by IMADA, who clearly enjoyed a step up to 3m. Nicky Richards’ 10-year-old has been very lightly raced and might have a chance of defying a 14lb hike in the ratings. Boy's On Tour is a regular here and has won four times over 2m4f but he struggles to stay this far and was beaten by stable companion Fortunes Hiding on better terms two runs ago. The Young Master was a smart stayer in his younger days but is giving away lumps of weight beat lesser opposition at Southwell. Amalfi Doug needs more and Soupy Soups is held by the selection on the form book.
