CUT THE CACKLE gets the vote after winning last time out here over this trip and despite carrying top weight can follow up on that success. George Thisby is likely to be a danger after winning at Ffos Las and it's notable he is 1-1 on the artificial. Chief Exec has claims but has a poor strike-rate whilst the handicapper looks to have Buxton in check and Army Of Stars will appreciate a return to the all-weather after dismal runs on the turf.
