Verdict
Buzz Light, progressing nicely on a race-by-race basis, seems sure to be in the shake-up with the additional furlong expected to prove beneficial. He's yet to encounter good ground but rain is forecast, though he is just passed over in favour of NA CAITH TOBAC. Paul Flynn's gelding produced his best hurdling effort at Down Royal in March and has since finished a close second on good ground on the level at Cork. San Pedro, a former Ballydoyle inmate, needs a check in the market and his stable companion Mr Tambourine Man, another ex-Ballydoyle member, showed promise on his hurdling debut.
