Verdict
As well as last week’s second Lochnaver, GHOSTLY is a previous course and distance winner and a run back on Turf at Carlisle last month clearly wasn’t his form. Buford also has recent form at the track to his name but he has a poor strike-rate. Yakhabar has been tried over a variety of trips but remains winless.
