      Verdict

      Chifa completed a double at Wolverhampton last month and accounted for Fieldsman on one of those occasions. The latter subsequently found Diamond Cottage too good at Brighton but MATTY TOO (NAP) looks the one to side with. Due to be raised 8lb in the future having won easily at Yarmouth last week, today’s penalty is also reduced by Billy Loughnane’s allowance. Macs Dilemma is at his best here and drops back down in class.
