Verdict

Rich Buddy was all out to beat Ukrainian Star by half-a-length over course and distance last month and is 4lb higher today. Deise Dynamo is also facing a stiff task at the weights while Green Wizard keeps finding one too good, but Taunton third Joseph Mercer has won over a shorter trip here and can't be ignored. Presenting Paddy is unexposed and another to consider while Sail And Return usually runs well here and is back on a winning mark. ANDREO BAMBALEO alternates between hurdles and fences but the handicapper has given him a chance here on a mark of 107. The quicker surface is definitely in his favour and he's been running well enough lately to warrant the selection with Cyrien Star preferred to Spoil Me and the disappointing Barenger of the others.
