BUZZ (NAP) has been raised 5lb for winning over 1m3f here in May. But the form has worked out well with the runner-up subsequently winning a handicap at Royal Ascot and Hughie Morrison’s charge gets the nod to go in again. Native Fighter landed a course and distance double earlier in the year and went close again back here last time with a below par Amlad well beaten. He looks sure to figure while Inn The Bull won here in March when landing a hat-trick and is only 2lb higher today. Roar has something to prove over the trip while Lustrous Light has been gelded, had wind surgery and also switched yards since last seen in action n October.
