Bumper and hurdles winner Hurricane Hollow is 0-7 on the Flat but capable of going close in a race like this. London Glory won on soft going at Hamilton earlier this month while King Of Scotland was also successful on the surface at Leicester in the spring, though disappointed in his only subsequent start. BRAES OF LOCHALSH hasn’t won since April of last year but has finished second three times here this season and also only found one too good on soft ground at Doncaster in June off today’s mark. He looks the pick of the weights, though any market interest in Buzz Boy should be taken seriously.
