Verdict
Barbados Buck's was already beaten when pulled-up over fences at Cheltenham and may do better back over the smaller obstacles for this. But FLEMCARA (NAP) missed out by only a neck at Newbury on his first start since March and Emma Lavelle’s charge can get his head back in front today. Potterman placed over fences here last month and can race off a lower mark back over timber while Dame De Compagnie was still in contention when falling over the larger obstacles at Newbury last time. Orbys Legend has something to prove over this far and Dandy Mag debuts for a new yard.
