Forecasts

A winner on return/yard debut at Lingfield in November, BUCKSY DES EPEIRES again ran well and was deserving of extra credit in sustaining his effort given he was ridden more prominently than most when second at Sandown 17 days ago. He's fancied to go well again back up in trip. Sholokjack is falling in the weights and this drop in trip may help. Bingoo and Minella Drama are others to consider in a competitive affair.
