Verdict

Four of these have won at the track previously. Of that quartet, the in-form For Jim and Dutch Canyon, who top and tail the weights, look the pick. More Buck's has won six times over fences but recent wins have come between the flags and this looks too far for the 11-year-old. ABSOLUTELY DYLAN didn’t get the run of the race when behind Dee Star and Path To Freedom here last month but still finished ahead of subsequent Market Rasen runner-up Going Mobile and he’s also finished second himself since at Hexham when well ahead of Hidden Cargo and Maison D'Or. Sue Smith’s gelding is in good form and deserves a change of luck.
