    Verdict

    Saucy Buck won over the trip at Kempton in October and has struggled over an extra furlong subsequently. He's not out of this while Joe Le Taxi will obviously come in for support in a bid to gain his fourth success over the trip in five starts. This revolves around the fitness of TOM SAWYER, who Julie Camacho has recruited from Ballydoyle and landed a Tipperary maiden from a subsequent winner in August. He hasn't been seen since well down the field in the DBS Premier Yearling Sales race at York in August but should take this if anywhere near his best.
