Plumpton winner Smart Boy arrives in good form but is upped in class along with Occasionally Yours, who bids for a hat-trick having won a seller at Fakenham. Galactic Power has been raised 8lb for winning at Ludlow while Cloth Cap has yet to threaten over timber. Marvellous Monty disappointed last time having gone close here back in May but a chance is taken on SNEAKING BUDGE. The latter will have come on for his first start for over a year when fourth at Leicester and Stuart Edmonds’ charge drops down a grade for this off a 3lb lower mark.
