Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Night Generation is 0-9 over hurdles but his latest third at Plumpton came in a better race than this. Spy In The Sky left previous form well behind when second at Worcester but has been rewarded for that effort with a 6lb rise. ILEWINDELILAH won at Fontwell last month and then came up against a well-handicapped rival, who won again earlier this week, over track and trip. Though she could have without a 2lb rise it is not insurmountable. Mister Drifter is still unexposed so is preferred to Brave Helios of the remainder.
