In depth
Verdict
Ben Brody returns to fences raised 5lb for winning over hurdles at Uttoxeter while Demopolis drops down in class having failed to complete in both starts so far this season. But FRESH NEW DAWN finally opened his account over fences with a victory at Market Rasen last month and can effectively race off a lower mark today with a conditional’s 10lb allowance taken into account. Hasankey was still in contention when hampered and unseating at Hexham while Flaminger won this back in 2019 and is fitted with cheekpieces today.
