Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer MODULUS put his stamina to good use with an easy victory on testing ground at Uttoxeter where he survived several mistakes. With plenty of runners he should get the strong pace he requires and can go in again. The Game Is A Foot stayed on strongly to land a conditionals race over the minimum at Plumpton and isn't penalised. He has no problems staying the extra and should get involved. Buckontupence, a winner between the flags, has been running well over further and may find this on the sharp side, a remark that also applies to another winning point-to-pointer Milan Express.
