Verdict

Saucy Buck has gone up only 2lb for his recent win at Kempton but that could still be enough to stop him following up against better opposition so BROWN PETE gets the speculative vote. He hasn't won since his two-year-old days but has tumbled down the weights as a consequence and was beaten by the narrowest of margins at Southwell last month. A few of these take each other on again after competing in a similar contest last week when runner-up Hip Hip Hooray finished ahead of Salient and Shared Moment and the former should confirm running.
