Verdict

EASY BUCKS is still 11lb higher than when completing a double at Uttoxeter in the autumn but a return to better ground could see a change of fortunes for Peter Bowen’s charge who is only six and less exposed than the majority of his rivals. Teme Spirit seems to run his best races here and The Dawn Man races off the same mark as when second at Ffos Las nine days ago. Hidden Cargo is also a regular here but now 0-23 under Rules.
