TOP BUCK was staying on nicely over 7f so could enjoy another step up in trip with cheekpieces added. Mac Mccarthy couldn’t cope with a step up in grade last time at Sandown but it would be no surprise to see him resume winning ways in a race like this. Willa gets blinkers and was biting off more than she could chew at Goodwood so looks the pick of the remainder.
