Lord Buffhead won this last year in testing ground. He's only 1lb higher this time round while Chester'slittlegem deservedly got her head back in front at Bath last time under today's apprentice and can at least make the frame. PULL THE PIN has done all his winning at Southwell so far but can race off a 13lb lower mark on Turf. He finished runner-up at Leicester last month and can go one better in this. Chloe's Dream scored at Beverley last time and another bold bid is expected despite a 4lb rise.
