Forecasts

Golden Passport (7/2), Granary Queen (9/2), Matty Too (9/2), Little Boy Blue (9/2), Bonkersinabundance (5/1), Dartman (17/2), Poetic Force (9/1), Evocative Spark (14/1)

Verdict

MATTY TOO should prove capable of completing the hat-trick after winning at Yarmouth and Chepstow in June, a 5 lb rise unlikely to prove overfacing to Ed Dunlop's upwardly-mobile gelding. Little Boy Blue has a good record over C&D and is most feared, with last-time-out winner Bonkersinabundance and Golden Passport also worth considering.
