⭐ Main Contenders

Our Dylan

Won three of last five and returned to best when scoring over 3m last time. Strong form pick.

Dwight K Schrute

Close second at Hereford over 3m2f and remains a major player if repeating that effort.

Tiger Orchid

Second in both starts for current yard, including a near-miss last time. Strong claims.

Speed Davis

Won at Musselburgh last season and looks interesting stepping up in trip on return.

Kintail

Ties in closely with Dwight K Schrute on Hereford form and remains capable of featuring.

⚠️ Next Best / Dangers

Carismatic Soldier

Lightly raced 7yo but has been well held in recent handicaps. Blinkers now tried.

❌ Outsiders / Weak Profiles

Golden Glance

Back from a long absence and has struggled in both starts since returning.

Hillview

Struggled after a long layoff and still has plenty to prove.

Robert d’Ores

Hexham specialist but below best in recent runs and needs more.

📊 Race Summary

• Recent winning form over staying trips is key
• Several closely matched runners on Hereford form
• Fitness after absence a concern for multiple runners
• Strong emphasis on stamina at 3m+

Best Profile: In-form stayers with proven recent handicap or novice hurdle form over long distances
