Verdict

MATTY TOO has improved further this year and won both outings since joining Ed Dunlop’s yard. He’s not stopped winning yet judged on the manner of his latest success and the hat-trick beckons. Bonkersinabundance has now won two of her three starts at this venue and has been raised 4lb for her latest success while Little Boy Blue is only 2lb higher than an earlier win at Chepstow and is not out of this. Dartman remains unexposed but Poetic Force was due to run here yesterday.
