In depth

Verdict

RENWICK has the best form on offer having finished clear of the rest when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Towcester in May. Dan Skelton’s charge can make a winning return in a weak-looking contest. Shamilan was placed in a bumper last year but struggled at Chepstow on his hurdling bow while Commander Miller was never in contention in a bumper at Warwick in May but will likely do better over timber representing the powerful Henderson yard. Nifty At Fifty has a recent hurdling debut under his belt and makes most appeal of the rest.
