Cubswin has placed off today’s mark on the Flat before and won over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month while Oh It's Saucepot finished runner-up at Windsor looking to end a long losing run. Better is expected from Buckland Boy back over today’s shorter trip and Australis also drops down in distance having come up against the progressive Oydis, due to run in the previous race, at Salisbury last time. But HOLY KINGDOM has plenty of scope looking to build on finishing second over course and distance in June and Tom Clover’s colt gets the vote to go one better.
