Verdict
Buckleberry has done nothing special in three starts but that may well be enough here as he's the only member of the field to hitherto post any performance of note. Of the newcomers, Taper Tantrum's yard remains significantly below normal standards. whilst Pyrocumulus and Saumur hail from stables not particularly renowned for debut scorers, although both need checking in the market. We'll take a chance with AZURE AMOUR who was well supported into 4-1 on her Newbury debut suggesting she'd shown Ralph Beckett promise at home. She showed little in the event that day but is evidently thought capable of better and is given another chance.
