Verdict
DYNAMIC DRIVE won over hurdles on this card 12 months ago and also popped up again here in August. This will be his first run over fences but the handicapper has given every chance if he embraces the new challenge with Stephen Mulqueen's claim another plus. Hexham runner-up Morning Time shouldn't be far away again while the four-year-old Henri De Boistron and Tinseltown are others to consider. But a bigger danger may be Oorayvic, who was only beaten a length-and-a-quarter at Kelso and will have learned from the experience.
