Bit wide and below form when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Had been in good form prior, is off a short break, suited by 6f, but needs more off this mark.

Verdict
COMBUSTION got the better of a subsequent winner when justifying favouritism over track and trip last month and a 3lb rise might prove to be lenient. With a similar performance, he could be hard to stop. All Too Beautiful and Due Date both failed in their bids for four-timers but it would be foolish to write either of them off.
Expert View Verdict
Mart returned to form when runner-up over C&D last time and he remains competitively weighted following a 2lb rise. He may struggle to see off COMBUSTION, however. The selection returned to form when winning over C&D last time, beating a subsequent scorer, and he still looks well treated after a 3lb rise. He's unbeeaten at this venue. Third choice is All Too Beautiful, who had excuses when coming up short in her four-timer bid over C&D last time. The handicapper may have her number now, though.
