Verdict
MARLEE MASSIE continued his good progress when defying a 10lb rise to complete a treble with victory at Uttoxeter. He's worth sticking with in his current form, despite a further hike in the weights. Bop Along made the frame at Musselburgh last time and has every chance with a similar effort while Hunters Belt has to go on the short-list. George Bewley's veteran has won three times here over different trips and has only found one to good in recent starts at Musselburgh and Catterick. The veteran See Double You is 10lb lower than his last winning mark and did a bit better over a trip too short at Ayr on Friday.
