In depth
Verdict
Donald McCain runs two with Abbie on board Yellow Jacket who looks best of the pair. CRACK DU NINIAN (NAP) has been chasing without showing much but ran very well on his last start over hurdles and is on a 10lb lower mark so looks the one to beat. Moonlight Glory was beaten in a claiming hurdle at Leicester last time but Ten Ten Twenty easily landed a maiden at Worcester in August and would be suited by the ground drying out.
