Buto is hard to assess as he was 0-21 under Rules for previous connections. But he was backed over course and distance last time and scored with something to spare. John McConnell has an excellent record here and Reserve Judgement needs to be taken seriously despite a run of unplaced efforts. No Rematch is weighted to go well but JIMMY RABBITTE arrives in good form and his close Kelso second on his penultimate start reads well. The step up in trip should suit and Freddie Gordon is an interesting booking.
