After three no shows on the turf last year, REACHFORTHEBUCKS made a winning reappearance over C&D last week. He's clearly improved and has taken to the Fibresand in such a way that a follow up looks likely. His latest defeat of Jack's Revenge gives him the beating of Dance For Livvy and Littlepromisedland, who both finished a long way behind the former on their latest starts, while Talkin Italian will need to step up on his recent form on Polytrack to figure. William Wainwright has been placed over shorter trips here and could prove the main danger in first-time blinkers.
