In depth
Verdict
Low grade but competitive stuff. Andy's Birthday seems to reserve his best performances for Uttoxeter. He can handle the surface well but he isn't well treated by the handicapper at the moment and he ran a shocker last time out. Dragon King returns from a short break after earning corn during the Summer. He seems to handle any ground although the handicapper has taken notice of his Summer exertions. The TEAMtalk selection is Oh So Wisley. He had bits and pieces of form over hurdles but Nigel Twiston-Davies has interestingly elected to come here instead of running him at Haydock Park on Saturday. Regal River, if he has shown no ill-effects from a fall, should be the one to chase him home.
