While Next Stop Paris is understandably favourite, the market may be underestimating Buck Rogers at 8/1. His previous run, where he underperformed despite strong market support, might put off punters, but the race dynamics today could be in his favour. With a steady pace expected and his proven ability on heavy ground, he’s primed to make a strong late run. David Kelly’s record with well-handicapped runners in these types of contests suggests Buck Rogers could be a live outsider. If he capitalises on the slow early fractions, he could easily outrun his odds. This represents excellent each-way value, especially given the vulnerability of the favourite in these testing conditions.
