Sacre Coeur came through strongly to score at Haydock and should be thereabouts here raised only 3lb. Oscars Moonshine is likely to be approaching peak fitness and the lightly-raced What About Time was second when upped in trip at Huntingdon but SPORTING ACE has run well in both starts so far in handicaps and possibly found 3m2f a shade too far last time at Warwick. Buckhorn George may prove the pick of the remainder ahead of Top Of The Bill.
