We said6th of 7, beaten 12½ at 9/2
BUCKLOW HILL 5/1
BUCKLOW HILL at 5/1, Charles Hills and Jason Watson, is the one I would side with. He has a course win to his name, handles the ground, with a win from 1 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are FAR TOO FIZZY at 5/1 (a course winner) and COME ON OVER at 6/1 (won last time).
