Back up in trip, COTE D’AZUR (NAP) ran out a ready winner here nine days ago. He has gone up 3lb and carries a welter burden but is just the type to tough it out and complete a quick double with Richard R H B looking held. Billy Roberts has been knocking on the door at Pontefract but a couple of three-year-olds could provide the biggest threat. Quite highly tried in his first season, Our New Buddy reappeared with a second at Sandown and Tamyeez has had three runs at Wolverhampton to qualify for a handicap mark. John Jasper is on a decent mark but remains winless and hasn’t fired so far this year.
