In depth
Verdict
Buzz Law won on his reappearance at Nottingham and is only 3lb higher here. Bosambo has claims if transferring his all-weather form to the turf but Delaney's Dream is trying a new trip after failing to justify market support at Musselburgh. Chosen Character improved with experience last year but we'll take LADY DEL SOL to make it three wins from five starts at the track. The top weight beat Hartforth and Delaney's Dream in a well-contested claimer over 7f here in October and is very tough.
