      Verdict

      A Little Bit Dusty won over hurdles last month but his form on the Flat this year has been indifferent. This looks too far for Morocco but Gabrial's Hope had Joyful Star behind when fifth over course and distance recently and has each-way claims, along with bottom weight Yourholidayisover. QIBTEE is only a couple of pounds higher than when third over this trip in a better race at Pontefract in July. Jacob Butterfield takes off 3lb so he has every chance of picking up the winning thread again, though the booking of Robert Winston for the returning Why Me catches the eye.
