BUFFET looks the one for punters to feast on and he gets our vote over Boquito and Walcot Square. Luca Cumani's colt has shaped with plenty of promise in maiden company so far and with this step up in trip in his favour he could be the one to be on today on his nursery debut. Boquito was a course and distance scorer here earlier in the month and he seemed to score with a bit in hand that day. The draw is a negative for him though today and he will need some luck to get his head in front. Walcot Square is another making his nursery debut and he was only narrowly beaten by Kona Coast at Brighton at the start of the month. He has done all his racing so far over 7f but he is bred to need this longer trip and he has to be on the shortlist. Diamond Duchess has disappointed on her last two starts and she races on the all-weather for the first time today. This is an open event and the vote goes to Buffet.
