CATFISH is engaged to run at an earlier meeting but would have every chance if taking his place in this after 4 seconds in 5 starts. However, BUFFALO KING CODY fits a similar profile and after consecutive 2nd-place finishes with the blinkers fitted, is open to further improvement on his reappearance as a gelding. HAMMER BLOW has run his best races over this trip and should have a role to play. RINGHO, GUNBOAT and SECOND TO NUNN appeal most of the remainder.
