Acts on heavy; 2-2 chasing; his mark may well be lenient and he has stacks of potential

In good form over hurdles last spring; not seen since but has to be given a close look
8	Fast Buck Brown J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	J:Ciaran Gethings T:Jane Williams	157	t	P-5351	124	147	130	40d	—	—	+16	19.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Surged back near his best to win a four-runner race at Wincanton (2m, heavy); back up 2lb
