Buzybakson showed improved form here over slightly further last time and has to be respected but faces no easy task under top weight and a chance is taken with Terrible Tenant, who is preferred to Cool Dante. The last mentioned, a winner of a novices' handicap at Perth in the summer, was disappointing at Hereford last time and is probably best watched today, while Colonial Sunset is 9lbs higher than when successful in a selling handicap at Chepstow last month and faces a more difficult task today. The ex-French Jocker du Sapin showed his best form since coming to the UK when chasing home Barton Nic at Chepstow in March but the lack of a recent run is of concern and preference is for Terrible Tenant. The Seamus Mullins-trained gelding showed enough when second to Barton Baron here last month to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within his compass and he is taken to make the most of the weight that he receives from most of his main rivals.
