In depth
Verdict
Progressive over hurdles last season, SINCE DAY ONE overcame a blunder to win at Ayr on his chasing debut. He’s taken to shrug off a 2lb rise with Donald McCain’s yard remaining among the winners. Miah Grace ran well in a Listed contest at Bangor on her reappearance and first start over fences. She’s preferred to the more-exposed Nero Rock though the latter has returned to a winning mark. Dakota Moirette has yet to win over the larger obstacles in 27 attempts.
