Formscan By Tom Weekes - BIT OF A BUZZ, Best Love and debutante Gus Mcrae were declared to run at Navan on Wednesday and each would be a contender in this similar-type maiden. Bit Of A Buzz has a nice pedigree and has performed consistently well in his runs todate. Out of a half-sister to two stakes winners, he is a six-race maiden who could be inconvenienced by softening ground but has recent form. Best Love has fair recent form at this trip and his helped by her rider’s 7lb claim while Gus Mcrae is out of a half-sister to Group 1-winner Red Cadeaux. Homebred Monologue is out of a Listed-placed dam.
