Buckhorn Tom is good enough to figure if able to show his best on his first start since April. But LISTEN AND LEARN is preferred as he went close again at Ffos Las despite a rise in the weights for an earlier win at Stratford. He also makes more appeal than The Tracey Shuffle as the latter has yet to show any improvement for his tumble down the weights but Tony Dinozzo finished closer in better company last time and could make his presence felt.
