In depth
Verdict
The Grey Dyer has been disappointing of late but he is taken to bounce back to form now he has the fast ground he desires and with his stable back in fine form. What A Wonder was a fair hurdler however he has not yet reproduced his best efforts over fences yet, but as a consequence he is on a fair mark is proven on the ground and rates the main danger. Bold Navigator could also go well despite top weight he won in good style at Carlisle last time out defeating Gimme Shelter. However his best form has come with more cut in the ground. Monty's Quest would also be worthy of consideration on his best hurdles form but he has failed to complete in his last two chases. Acoustic is another that could go well as he is from a yard beginning to hit form and he goes well on fast ground. Iron Express is game and consistent and he is sure to run his race again but again he may find one or two to good for him.
