In depth
Verdict
Doctor Dex is a 41,000 euros son of top NH sire Oscar out of a winning hurdler so of interest in this. BARLEY HILL cost a similar amount and also has a nice jumping pedigree. Ben Pauling has a near 40 per cent strike rate here with bumper horses so his charge gets the nod with Luck Of The Legion having a pedigree better suited to fences. Like the latter, Mind Your Back is by Getaway and may be best of the rest unless any of the others attract significant market support.
