Formscan - Bitsnbuckles enjoyed dropping back in distance when landing the spoils over an extended 2m4f at Southwell last month. The eight-year-old scored with something in hand and must enter calculations off 7lb higher, but SARACEN BEAU is slightly more compelling. Nicky Richards' charge arrives on the back of a decent third at Newcastle and that form looks a touch stronger. Meatloaf is a feasible alternative.
