BUCKS DREAM was upped a grade last time but had earlier placed at this level over course and distance. A tongue-tie is applied for this and Peter Bowen’s charge may prove the one to side with. Waterloo Quay found only one too good at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start but steps up in distance along with Hereford winner Maid Of The Night, who has been raised 6lb. Hungry Hill also tackles a longer trip on his handicap debut but it would be no surprise to see him finish closer.
