Verdict

BUFFALO RIVER could only manage third when sent off favourite at Doncaster last time but John Gosden’s charge still finished six lengths clear of the rest and the runner-up has subsequently won. He’s preferred to Fares Poet and Torolight on that form but one of the newcomers may give him more to think about. Laafy is a half-brother to a stakes winners in North America and preferred to Name The Wind while Land Of Oz has an early entry in the Derby.
