In depth

Verdict

Buzz Law is finally back on a winning mark and could figure while Hip Hip Hooray and Cyril The Squirrel aren't out of this despite recent defeats off today's marks. Soft ground was a legitimate excuse for Typography's latest poor effort but he was going the right way before that and Fire King has claims, though he's too inconsistent to recommend with any confidence. AUTHORITARIAN looks the most likely to run his race after another good effort at Chepstow and the C&D winner gets the nod with handicap debutant Tonle Sap looking best of the rest.
