A couple of these are penalised for winning here last week. Harbour Vision beat My Brother Mike with plenty to spare and bids for a hat-trick but BUSBY is preferred. The latter has now won his last three starts over track and trip, remains on a winning mark and is partnered by a leading amateur in Simon Walker. Hooflepuff has a shout with today’s rider claiming 7lb while Voltaic could also go well but Unplugged returned a beaten favourite at Chelmsford and is now fitted with cheekpieces.
