Verdict
A couple of these scored over a slightly shorter trip here last time and State Crown’s 3lb rise is negated by a conditional’s allowance. But MASCAT is the less exposed of the pair over hurdles and having won with plenty in hand last month, Joe Tizzard’s charge can defy a hike in the weights. Get Back Get Back is fitted with additional headgear having failed to land the odds at Exeter while Bucko's Boy came up short once again at Stratford though was hampered turning for home.
