In depth
Verdict
Buzz Kiri can return to winning ways here, with Pirouettes and Tropical Son put forward as the main rivals. Tony Carroll's gelding ran no sort of race at Southwell last time when tailed off behind Dubai Dreams, but that was his first outing since May. He was successful here last March in a similar event and if recapturing that form he will be difficult to beat. Pirouettes gained due reward for some excellent efforts with a victory over a slightly shorter trip here last month and should be in the shake up again today. Tropical Son is never too far away and put in another good performance last time when chasing home Dial Square. In a wide open affair Melograno and Magical wit are two others to consider for each-way purposes, but for the winner we have to go with Buz Kiri
