In depth

Verdict

BLUE BUFF will have plenty of support bidding for a hat-trick having easily won a less valuable contest over track and trip last month with Yes I See back in third. He looks to have leading claims with scope for further progress and is preferred to the more exposed Gray Beau. The latter has proven form at this level and showed signs of a return to his best when third here recently but this is a much tougher task for Animal Trick having gone close here last month.
