TUFTON gets the narrow vote over Ozone Trustee and Lucayan Dancer. Richard Fahey has been going great guns this season and the selection caught the eye on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster last month. He landed back to back races last summer at Haydock and Redcar. Although he was a beaten favourite last time out he was not totally discredited and it could be worth giving him another chance now he is dropped into a claimer. Having won on his debut Ozone Trustee has only been lightly raced since. He has been dropped a further three pounds since his last outing and as he comes form the shrewd Alan Swinbank yard so market support should be noted. Lucayan Dancer has been in great form this season. He gained back to back victories last summer and although he has top weight to carry he is expected to run well once again. This is another competitive claimer but Tufton looks a class above his rivals and is taken to land it.
