Placed three times here at the start of the summer, MY RENAISSANCE was racing from out of the handicap last time at Bangor so that run can be ignored. He is getting 13lb from Ardera Cross, who has plummeted down the weights but hasn’t been firing for a while. More Buck's has gone up 3lb for finishing second at Market Rasen and hasn’t won under Rules since early in 2019 but he still looks the biggest danger with Tokaramore having become disappointing over fences.
