In depth

Verdict

Buckhorn Timothy was last seen in a Grade 3 at Sandown. He was probably out of his depth that day but did beat a useful staying novice at Exeter in January and, despite his penalty, should give MR DINOSAUR plenty to think about. The latter, a winning pointer, needed his run behind subsequent winner Might Bite at Newbury last month and will strip fitter here. Morestead Screamer ran well on her hurdling debut here last month and looks the pick of the remainder.
