Breffniboy has recorded a couple of wide-margin victories this autumn and is fancied to reverse Uttoxeter running with The Garrison on better terms. With Tom Buckley able to claim his full allowance today, Johnny Farrelly’s charge shouldn’t be far away again. Dante's View was a close-up fourth making his handicap debut here last month and is still unexposed. Bang On and Hollywood Ken could figure if fully wound-up but the vote goes to CZECH HER OUT, who has performed with credit on quicker going in two recent starts and won on good to soft at Stratford in the summer.
