Verdict

HAKUNA MATATA has now won two of only seven starts on the Flat having scored at Carlisle last time. Brian Ellison's charge is the least exposed of these and could follow-up off only a 3lb higher mark. Three time C&D winner Master Of Dance hasn't raced since February but is on a winning mark and beat today's rival Seldom here last September. The latter went close at Pontefract last week with Talent Scout behind and should be thereabouts. Woteva scored in soft ground over track and trip before running a shocker at Beverley and Le Chat D'Or had been in good form before his recent below par effort behind the selection.
