Verdict
After back-to-back wins over Dundalk's mile BUAITEOIR can make a winning debut for his new UK yard. He needed every yard of his last run to get that score so this step up in trip should suit and he looks fairly reassessed. Both Kimberley Downs and Cobo Bay have good records here but both will have to improve now back in handicap company so a bigger threat will probably be She's A Character who beat home a subsequent winner when finding one too good last time. West End Lad is 3lb lower than his near miss at Nottingham two starts ago so can also be considered in a race taken to go to Buaiteoir.
