Verdict

Bucks gets the vote here over T K O Gym and Wasted Talent in a weak maiden for three-year-olds and upwards. After chasing home the odds-on When In Rome on his Sandown debut for Amanda Perrett two years ago, it only seemed a matter of time before he too visited the winner¿s enclosure. However, he has not progressed as hoped, not even when sent to Dean Ivory, his current trainer. That could be about to change though, as he produced a sterling effort at Lingfield 12 days ago when beaten in a photo by Sentry, and a reproduction of that effort should suffice. T K O Gym kept on at the one pace when second over a mile and a quarter at Redcar and has a squeak along with Wasted Talent who has flattered to deceive on a couple of occasions but definitely has the ability to win a race of this nature. Bucks looks the answer though.
