It was only a matter of time until BUXTON took advantage of a slide down the weights and he did so when scoring over C&D last week. A penalty may not be enough to prevent a follow-up as he was winning off 8lb higher last April and he's taken to confirm superiority with runner-up Sottovoce. Prince Of Sorrento has also slipped back to a winning mark and it showed at Kempton last time where he finished a close-up third, while Chandrayaan and last month's Wolverhampton winner July Days have place claims on their best form.
