Verdict
Second here in April, veteran Pateen won at Hexham subsequently and looked to be on the way back at Market Rasen last month but Wasdell Dundalk has only beaten one home in his last two runs over hurdles and has fared even worse over fences. Love Mystery took a big step forward when third in a Stratford maiden and his yard is in cracking form but JUST DOTTIE, though 5lb higher than her victory here in May, is almost certain to run her race again so gets the nod.
