Having run to a fair level when third on debut at Chepstow, MATIWO was a mid-race faller having proven headstrong at Cheltenham 32 days ago. He'll need to settle better on this occasion and in the hope that hasn't dented his confidence, could be the answer here. Taunton scorer Apollon Forlonge rates next best under a penalty ahead of Sixty's Rock.
