Ben Buie is back on the same mark as when completing a double at Fakenham in February but he’s barely raised a gallop since. Only Money is 5lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but clearly goes well fresh and later beat Elios D'Or easily at Worcester. SEA PRINCE paid the price for helping set too strong a pace last time at Stratford. He is back on his winning mark today and will have the going to suit. Line Of Descent beat Post No Bills at Stratford back in May but is 4lb worse off and he jumped poorly last time at Newton Abbot before unseating his rider.
