Verdict

Yaltari will be fancied to complete the hat-trick, although he looked fortunate last time and the handicapper may have got it wrong. Sleepy Haven is overdue a win and although he is yet to make the frame at this trip, it is possible he is better handicapped for this attempt and recent runs appear to indicate the extra yards are needed. CAVE TOP is a C&D specialist who has scored twice here when conditions have been similar and the form of his latest victory has been boosted since. On Tour reverts to hurdles having failed to complete in two of his last three chases. Conditions will bring his stamina into play and he has the class to go close in a race where many of his rivals will struggle with the ground and/or their current marks.
