Verdict
BUCK'S BOND (NAP) is only 2lb higher than when successful in this 12 months ago and made a highly encouraging reappearance over a longer trip here in October when beaten less than two lengths by the useful Pantxoa. A repeat could be on the cards though better is expected from Water Wagtail after a pipe-opener at Stratford and Boyfromnowhere is tumbling down the weights. Best Boy Barney is still running well and Silver Commander is capable of going well fresh but this is a new trip for the novice Lily Waugh and Papradon tends to find the going tough in this grade. Ziga Boy has scope and looks best of the rest.
