BUCKO'S BOY (7) completed a double the start of the campaign and was not disgraced when runner-up at Kelso in a higher graded handicap hurdle. Top chance. SERIOUS OPERATOR (11) has not been seen since a 0.5L success in a Class 2 Ayr handicap hurdle during April. Could prove competitive with conditional offering welcome weight relief. SOUL ICON (6) aims for back to back wins after a 3.5L success at Fontwell Park. Place claims. ANGELS BREATH (1) sits at the top of the handicap. Better with fences although not to be dismissed for a place tackling hurdles.
