Verdict

After a couple of odds-on defeats, questions have to be asked of ROLLING DYLAN. But the bumper winner's conqueror at Exeter last month, Overtown Express, won in a canter under a penalty at Lingfield earlier this week so his form probably isn't that bad. He's given a final chance to get things right today with Authorized Too also having a bit to prove having finished second in three of his four starts over timber as he was also difficult to win with on the Flat. Monkey Rum was still beaten 25 lengths when third here last month so best of the rest may be Noor Al Haya, who has won four times over staying distances on the level.
