Verdict
Ishetoo had gone nearly five years without a win until scoring at Kempton last week so is hard to fancy under a penalty. Louis Vee has had just the 10 outings despite his age and popped up at 33/1 over 6f here last time where he made all. He should give another good account, but LORD BUFFHEAD makes most appeal of the recent winners. Richard Guest's charge returned to winning ways over track and trip on Monday and remains on a winning mark despite carrying 6lb extra. Speedyfix looks best of the rest with most of them having something to find with the principals.
