Another triple assault from Team Moffatt with course and distance winner Golden Town making most appeal, although keep an eye on Vocal Duke on a first start for the yard since leaving Toby Lawes. The third Moffatt member, /6Oakmont, is not ignored either after having a satisfactory sharpener on the level at Catterick. Paul Nicholls raids the Lake District with Glajou and the gelding should not be underestimated, likewise Timetoroe who's usually on the premises. However, FRIGHTENED RABBIT was always in control at Hexham recently and this course and distance winner is taken to land successive wins in this contest off what remains a perfectly feasible mark.
