        Verdict

        Gypsy Whisper was running well at Doncaster in July but returns from a break. This is quite a stiff 7f and that may not suit Touchwood while Matty Too is probably best over 6f. CUBANISTA has run well in previous visits here and seems oblivious to ground conditions. Ray Dawson keeps faith with Pam Sly’s gelding despite a slightly disappointing effort when favourite at Yarmouth last time. Liangel Hope needs forgiving a couple of below-par efforts off this mark last month.
