Formscan - The hat-trick seeking El Bufalo warrants respect in his current vein of form, while a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold showing from recent C&D winner Alondra. However, the pair may be thwarted by SAM'S XPRESS, who was only reeled in late on having set a fast pace at Lingfield last month. A 1lb higher mark looks workable for the six-year-old and he's taken to regain the winning thread.
