Verdict

It's a while since BUCKHORN TOM (NAP) got his head in front but he's now 7lb lower than when successful at Exeter early last year and should be capable of seeing off this lot if back on song. Mount Prospex was put up 4lb after finishing second over course and distance in May, when well ahead of Molly Oscar, and has yet to win a race of any description. Red Penny was still beaten 20 lengths when second at Ffos Las and veteran Double Chocolate is held by the selection on Fontwell running.
