David Pipe sent out last year’s inaugural winner and Moon Racer ended last season with a victory at Ayr in April. Dingo Dollar was runner-up over today’s trip at the same meeting and could go well for his in-form yard and Ocean Cove also won at Ayr when last in action. But a couple of these arrive on the back of more recent victories including Jersey Bean, who made a winning reappearance at Market Rasen and bids for a hat-trick raised 5lb, and READY AND ABLE (NAP) who escapes a penalty after landing a conditionals' race at Aintree last month. Jonjo O’Neill’s progressive hurdler looks to have a leading chance of recording a four-timer on that form and can come out best.
