Buzz De Turcoing has a penalty for winning a Haydock maiden in December but is back in the right grade after a subsequent fourth at Ascot. KILDIMO (NAP) looks the one to be on, however, as he built on a debut third at Catterick and reversed form that day with Tonyx when just failing to catch hot favourite Sheldon at Fakenham. The extra half-mile is a bonus as he was placed twice in points in 2019. Erne River wasn’t disgraced on his debut under Rules at Kelso in November and Glen Vine and Mont Saint Vincent are others capable of improvement.
