A switch to blinkers as preferred headgear witnessed DINDIN post his best effort so far since joining David Pipe’s yard when a close-up third at Uttoxeter. He looks up to landing this having slipped down the weights. Invincible Wish has a shout on a recent neck defeat over track and trip while Red Maple won off today’s mark over hurdles in May and may well improve on a more recent debut over fences when behind third-placed Uncle O at Southwell.
