Verdict
BUSTER THOMAS was let down by his jumping on his reappearance at Market Rasen and was probably a lucky winner here in April. But he ran well at Kempton in between and races off the same mark today. Native Robin is another course and distance winner worth a second look and Capeland keeps knocking on the door. Forth Bridge has already finished second twice this year off today’s mark and Ballinure reverts to fences on a fair mark. Leg Lock Luke and Triple Chief look the pick of the remainder.
