In depth

Verdict

With Approval won off a higher mark here last year and has been placed on the all-weather recently. But BUZZ LIGHTYERE beat Fairy Mist over track and trip earlier this month with Lutine Charlie and Kafeel, who runs in the previous division, further behind. That was his first start since October so Philip Hide’s charge may well defy a 3lb rise and go in again. Greyfriarschorista is best on the Fibresand at Southwell and Bold Max still has just the one win in 44 attempts.
