DRAGON KHAN is only 1-24 over hurdles but might be the one to beat in a race that won’t take much winning. He wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter last month and does have form on soft and heavy going. Winning pointer Rollercoster could go close to breaking his duck under Rules as he makes his handicap debut while a case can also be made for the lightly-raced Flanagans Field. Agent Westy is less exposed than most but Baratineur has climbed the weights without winning, though has the champion doing the steering today.
