In depth
Verdict
Racing Spirit hasn’t raced since winning over track and trip last summer and is 7lb higher on his return. But LAYERTHORPE has the more recent form over these hurdles having been beaten less than a length on his reappearance and Debra Hamer’s charge can return to winning ways with that run under his belt. Uttoxeter runner-up Ulysses has just the one victory in 22 outings over timber while several went close last time still looking for their first wins including Bomber's Moon, Just Once and Leading Knight
