Buster Brown ran out an easy winner over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last time. He'll go close again if lasting home. Today's trip is no problem for Golden Jubilee and he's been threatening to get his head back in front of late, but COLINCA'S LAD is just preferred. He's yet to score on Polytrack but is 10lb lower than when winning at Yarmouth in June and previous placed efforts on this surface suggest he can finally come good. Men Don't Cry looks high enough in the weights at present while Tuxedo hasn't raced since April last year and Indian Scout was engaged to run at Wolverhampton yesterday.
