        Verdict

        Buxted Too bids for a hat-trick upped a grade and raised 3lb. He beat Crimson King when scoring at Kempton two runs ago and the latter has since gone close over 1m2f here. DEMBE has also been thereabouts over shorter trips since returning to action having notched a four-timer on the all-weather at this time last year. He looks worth a try over this extra distance. Marion's Boy has placed over track and trip recently and gets a change of headgear while the unexposed Minister For Magic drops back down in class and will be shaper for a recent comeback.
