Verdict
For obvious reasons, the horse that will focus the attention of most punters is last week's unpenalised Sandown winner Born To Please . However, whilst fully respected, it could pay to focus elsewhere with proven course form plentifully on offer. Buzz Lightyere continues to improve and appears to stay this trip (1m winner at this track in May) and finished a couple of places in front of the selection SILVER ALLIANCE when runner up to Dove Mountain over C&D in early July. However, there are reasons to believe that those placings can be reversed with the Julia Fielden trained veteran giving notice of a return to form and most undeniably well handicapped on his winning form from last summer.
