Verdict
The 575,000gns purchase Visible Charm is related to five winners including the high-class Erupt while Pierre Lapin includes Group 1 winning sprinter Harry Angel among his relatives. Both are preferred to fellow newcomers Clog Maker and Bad Rabbit but TOP BUCK has the form in the book. Third in the Lily Agnes at Chester when giving the impression this extra distance would suit, Brian Meehan’s colt should make a bold bid. Bravo Faisal is a likely improver and may reverse last month’s running at Leicester with Mr Kodi.
