GOING NOWHERE FAST failed in a bid to land a hat-trick when only fourth at Chepstow. But he drops back down a grade for this and none of the opposition inspire much confidence. Molko Jack and Larkhall were both beaten by the selection at Uttoxeter earlier though the latter has since posted a better effort over these fences and Cross To Boston is having his first start since April off a 9lb higher mark than when scoring at Hexham. Red Rosso arrives out of form but was placed on a couple of occasions over track and trip early in the year.
