Buraback was left with plenty of ground to make up at Kempton and could only manage third. He’s fitted with a hood today while blinkers are added to IRISH MILLIONS for the first time. The latter struggled in much better company last time but was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton before that and the Haggas colt gets another chance. Homemade Andrea finished runner-up over a mile here recently while Jastar and More Diamonds are others with a shout in an open contest.
