BUY ME BACK has placed in both outings so far including a second over today’s trip at Kempton on her debut. Archie Watson’s filly may prove good enough fitted with headgear today as this doesn’t look a particularly strong contest. Dashing Roger disappointed here last time having placed at Brighton earlier while Alborkan and New Arrival look likely improvers along with Golden Fountain. Ajax Tavern is a half-brother to three winners and is preferred to Coconut Sugar and Sepia Belle of the newcomers.
