In depth
Verdict
Sir Mangan won this off a higher mark last year but arrives out of form and TEMPLEHILLS is preferred. The latter ran well for fourth in a Grade 2 at Aintree last month having made all at Warwick before that and Nigel Twiston-Davies charge should be bang there at the finish once again. Vyta Du Roc hasn’t raced since winning easily at Cheltenham back in January and is 9lb higher today while Rolling Dylan remains 10lb higher than when last winning a handicap. Yala Enki is a Grade 3 winner but unpredictable while Kerrow has been off the track since March last year, though had looked progressive over fences before that. Barney Dwan has untapped potential but still makes mistakes.
