Riot Act never looked like catching Impulsive Star at Ffos Las but kept on well in the closing stages and will know more today. Former pointer Buster Thomas should make a chaser but is best watched here. The Mighty Don won a Plumpton bumper last month and Capsis Desbois has hinted at ability. So has HOMERS ODYSSEY and Chris Gordon’s charge can start to fulfil his potential now tackling hurdles. Minella Style was well beaten in a bumper here 11 days ago on his debut under Rules.
