In depth
Verdict
Joely Green was an impressive winner last time out at Huntingdon and he will be hard to beat despite his penalty. Jack Dawson would win this if it was a flat race but he was disappointing on his hurdle debut last season however top jockey is booked and he is worth a look in the market. Carnoustie is another to consider but he may be better suited by an even longer trip. Derryquin was disappointing last time out and again may struggle under his penalty. African Dawn is also worth a look in the market.
