Verdict
Crystal Swing is erratic to say the least while Mission Complete is out of sorts but there are possibilities about Typhon De Guye, who won easily on his chasing bow at Towcester, though the runner-up has done nothing for the form since. BEST BOY BARNEY has got his act together and was value for a wider winning margin at Uttoxeter last month as he idled badly on the run-in. He's another 8lb higher but may be capable of completing the hat-trick. Allerton is back on a winning mark and hinted at a revival at Bangor last time.
