Verdict
Kimifive was a bit unlucky over 5f here last month and also finished a close second at Bath on his reappearance. With Nicola Currie’s claim in his favour, he looks a danger to all. Harbour Storm bolted up on his return to action at Wolverhampton while this is a drop in class for Music Society. Chagatai won at Kempton in April and his fourth at Newmarket two runs ago is better form than Perfect Hustler second at Kempton but BUFFER ZONE can continue his improvement by completing the hat-trick. Roger Charlton’s son of Bated Breath beat Perfect Hustler on Polytrack in October and the form of his comfortable victory over course and distance earlier this month was franked when the second won a handicap at Newmarket on Saturday.
