In a handicap where none of the field jump off the page we think D'URBERVILLE can bin the maiden tag at the expense of Buzz Bird and Market Puzzle. Having found just the one too good off a pound higher in the handicap two starts ago the pick has a little to prove after his run last time but given this step back up in trip will suit he should go quite close. Buzz Bird has put in his best efforts at this venue but again has a bit to justify after his run back on the turf last time. He should benefit from both the return to this surface and trip so we wouldn't be surprised to see him close up. Market Puzzle hasn't inspired since switching to handicaps but can go better with another couple of pounds removed while any cash in favour of Secritisation would also prick our interest. A particularly tough end to the day this where D'urberville can go very close.
