Race preview
ABUFFALOSOLDIER is an interesting contender now that he's over timber and upped in trip, as both should suit. He showed clear promise in both bumper runs, including when scoring at Southwell last time, and is taken to win the closing race. Previous course winner Grosvenor Court has to give the selection 7lb which may make life difficult for the Alan King-trained gelding, and while Farmer's Gamble has been off the course since August, Dan Skelton can get them fit after an absence and could be a danger if jumping better than he did on debut.
