PUNCHING can defy top-weight here, seeing off Fuzzy Cat and Thoughtsofstardom in the process. Conor Dore's Kyllachy gelding might prefer a drop of rain but he ran well on decent ground at Nottingham just four days ago. He didn't get the clearest of runs there but racing off the same mark of 60 today he can make up for lost time. Come On Buckers has been given two months off since finishing down the field in a Lingfield claimer, Thoughtsofstardom has a length to find with the selection on their Secret City run, whilst Fuzzy Cat scored in a big field at Nottingham on the same day and won in a quicker time than Secret City did. Off the same mark he should run a big race. Towy Boy never looks the most resolute in a finish, so a bigger threat may emerge from Maryolini who is well-handicapped on this first run for a new stable. Sirjosh and Djalalabad are not discounted from the foot of the weights, however in an open contest it is Punching who can land the knock-out blow.
