CHAMPAGNE FIZZ has to bounce back from a poor run on her latest start but that has allowed her to dip below the ceiling of this race and we believe compensation awaits. Blazing Buck is better known as a hurdler these days but a perusal of his old form shows that as a juvenile he was rated off marks in the mid-70's. Avon Castle looks to possess ability though does not look completely straight forward. Storms Over has a first outing for Brendan Duke so the market is watched. Zawadi has not lived up to her smart pedigree though on paper, this step up should not really be much of an issue. Look Officer has won in plating company when trained by Tom Dascombe though she could not be recommended on any of her recent efforts.
