A staying handicap hurdle where recent form and proven stamina are key. Several arrive in good form, while others need to bounce back from recent setbacks or long absences.
⭐ 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.

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

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.
