Morrison hope will be buzzing after short rest

TIPS: Fighting fifth at Doncaster suggests big run from four-year-old

- THE FERRET

BUZZ can scoop a big pot for a Monday in the £75,000 32Red Middle Distance Series Final Handicap at Kempton.

Hughie Morrison’s charge earned his stripes for this race with two wins at the Sunbury track during the summer and has been equally adept on turf.

Successful in a competitiv­e contest at Newbury in September, the fouryear-old grey ran a fine race in the November Handicap at Doncaster to finish fifth behind the impressive Royal Line.

Hopefully nine days will have been long enough for Buzz to be bouncing again in time for this valuable race.

SILVER RIVER only made his debut last month, but is already making up for lost time with third place on his debut followed by a victory, both over this mile and a half.

It is noticeable Godolphin are perseverin­g with the former Frenchtrai­ned gelding and Saeed bin Suroor’s son of Tamayuz can double up in the 32Red On The App Store Novice Stakes.

ISOMER ran well when only beaten half a length by Pactolus over this mile six weeks ago and Andrew Balding’s four-year-old can go one better in the 100% Profit Boost At 32redsport.com Handicap.

LOCAL HISTORY made a perfectly respectabl­e start to her racing career at Yarmouth last month and James Tate’s youngster should build on that in the Bet At racinguk.com Fillies’ Novice Auction Stakes.

The Richard Hannon-trained RUM RUNNER is interestin­g, trying the allweather for the first time in the 32Red Casino Handicap. He ran a bit better than fourth place might suggest at Ascot on his latest start in an amateur riders’ race.

BERMEO can maintain his successful streak in the Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Handicap Chase at Plumpton.

The Johnny Farrelly-trained sevenyear-old has landed staying races at Newton Abbot, Worcester and Fontwell.

He does not appear to have been harshly treated by the assessor and can continue to go from strength to strength.
