This should take little winning, and Mister Buzz is selected ahead of Dramatic Review, with Jeffslottery and Serene Pearl also worth noting. Micky Hammond is double-handed in this selling contest, with Nicky Mackay on Premier Times, but it is Mister Buzz, the mount of Paul Hanagan, that gets our vote. The Mind Games colt showed little last year when campaigned in better company, but the combination of a first-time visor and the drop to today's level at Hamilton last time brought about some improvement, and as that was only his second outing of the year, he should improve again. Dramatic Review has shown nothing yet, but any money for him should be noted, as he comes from a shrewd yard. Jeffslottery came off second best in a photo in maiden company at Ayr last October, but the ground was soft that day and he has not managed to produce anything like that form since. Serene Pearl has been a bitter disappointment so far but maybe the drop in grade will help her cause. Kevin Darley is an interesting booking for newcomer Cool As A Moose, but in a race in which only the smallest of stakes is recommended, Mister Buzz is the pick.
