Verdict
Heron went close over 1m6f last time but has something to prove over today’s trip on earlier form here. Sheila's Fancy has placed over 2m on the all-weather on several occasions without looking like winning but Banff scored over 2m at Newcastle last summer and has been hurdling since. Goldslinger won over hurdles in April but hasn’t won on the Flat since 2015 so a chance is taken on another winning hurdler in DALASARI, who has slipped 10lb down the weights since November and would have finished closer at Lingfield last time with a clear run
