Jamie Moore has won this jump jockeys contest on a couple of occasions but Tralee Hills found Valentino Dancer too good in an amateurs’ race at Newbury last time. The latter can figure once again while several won at the track in July including Ascot Day, Miss Mulligan and BERRAHRI. The latter also landed this contest off a higher mark in 2019 and another bold bid is expected. Edinburgh Castle was placed over hurdles under Tom Scudamore last month and his only win on the Flat so far came on heavy going here.
