Verdict

Another good renewal of this handicap and BUZZ makes all the appeal. He wasn't beaten far having been poorly placed in the Welsh Champion Hurdle Handicap on his return, and with that form proving strong he has cracking claims for his top yard who have won this 3 times since 2010. San Seb and Kloud Gate have long absences to overcome but are both interesting runners. Eddiemaurice can also go well.

  1. BUZZ (FR)
  2. SAN SEB (GER)
  3. KLOUD GATE (FR)
