Verdict

AUTHORIZED TOO can complete a Flat treble following wins at Kempton and on his most recent start in this sphere at Ffos Las a month ago. The selection has run well over hurdles in the interim period and can defy a 3lb rise in the weights here at the chief expense of Taws who was a C&D winner recently while the third on that occasion Arty Campbell can fill the same position on his return to quicker ground in this.
