Verdict
FOSSA scored over track and trip before following up at Southwell last time. He's up a further 5lb but still looks to have every chance of landing a hat-trick in today's company. Waterloo Dock is usually thereabouts at this level without being quite good enough and Sweet Ovation has failed to figure off higher marks since scoring here in March. Restless Bay has the past form to figure and Reginald Claude continues to slide down the weights but the lightly-raced Clearing could prove a bigger threat.
