Reachforthebucks carries a double penalty here and given both recent wins came on the Fibresand, he might be worth taking on with SNOW TROOPER. The latter improved for the step up to a mile when beating subsequent winner Mrs Neat at Wolverhampton on his latest start and there should be more to come from Dean Ivory's colt over this distance. Reachtothestars has a bit to prove over today's longer trip, as does Luckbealadytonight, while the maiden Beating Harmony has been placed in plating company of late and will need to step up on that form to figure.
