Verdict

Beaten only a neck over track and trip last month, MAH MATE BOB went one better at Sedgefield last time when beating subsequent winner Treasure Dillon with the rest well behind. He’s fancied to make another bold bid on the strength of that form. L'attendue is another recent winner at Sedgefield and has the scope for further progress while Bingo D'Olivate can also figure back up in distance today. But Lastin' Memories still looks a shade high in the weights having finished seven lengths behind the winner over these obstacles last month and Seapoint has plenty to find with a couple of these.
