Cheers Buddy pulled hard but kept on well to repel all challengers in an apprentices' race at Hamilton last time. First Class Favour popped up at generous odds here two weeks ago and may still be on a decent mark while Apache Rising and Confusing should be thereabouts. Aramist has been given more time to grow and is also worth watching while Oratory is a course and distance winner in fair form and Cape Samba bids to follow up a game victory at Newcastle. BLUE MAISEY found 7f too sharp at Thirsk and, with a decent 7lb claimer on board here, should give supporters a run for their money at decent odds.
