Haul Us In bids for the hat-trick after wins at Ayr and Hexham and the handicapper hasn’t overreacted. Lucinda Russell’s improving six-year-old will take some stopping but, despite a 2lb rise for a third at Ayr, ANOTHER MATTIE is well treated on his form of a year ago and can grab a second course victory and a fourth in his career. Xpo Universel and Only Orvieto probably have place claims but Barrys Jack has lost his way and Lastin’ Memories is upped in grade and racing from out of the handicap.
