Verdict

BUCKSY DES EPEIRES made the perfect start over fences when landing a small-field contest at Ascot 3 weeks ago and, very much appealing as the type to go on improving in this sphere, Venetia Williams' 5-y-o is fancied to make another bold bid. The Kalooki Kid is another open to improvement in this sphere and he's feared. Recent C&D winner Classic King and Sea Invasion are others worth a look.
