A highly competitive contest with three of these bidding for a hat-trick. Shubaat is upped 10lb as he goes handicapping for the first time along with Ffos Las winner Master Malt. Masterofdeception has been raised 8lb after landing a double with a victory at Aintree and Monetary Fund is not out of this either off his current mark. Scotsbrook Cloud is upped a couple of grades after scoring at Market Rasen but TORNADO BOB went close in a decent handicap at Worcester last month. He had On The Bridge well beaten but still gets only a tentative vote in such an open race.
