In depth
Verdict
Etania isn't easy to catch right but she was only beaten a couple of lengths over a shorter trip at Newton Abbot eight days ago and won at Stratford in March. Mission Complete is weighted to overturn Bangor running in May with Trafficker but has been well beaten twice since, though did win off a higher mark over track and trip just over a year ago. SIR MATTIE has a rare outing away from Ffos Las but is probably on a fair mark at present so a chance if taken that Paul Moloney's mount can reproduce his best form, though Forever My Friend has run well here in the past and is still tumbling down the weights.
