Day To Remember was so impressive on his hurdles debut he is hard to oppose in his follow up bid, The Ring and Bywell Beau look to be the main rivals. A decent enough middle distance performer on the flat, Day To Remember comfortably beat Westgate at Market Rasen earlier this month. He was good value for that twelve lengths success and there could be plenty more to come. The Ring let down supporters when an odds on failure at newcastle last time out. Ground conditions are more to his liking today and a big run can be expected. Bywell Beau will also relish the conditions having slaughtered a modest field last time out and looks set for some place money. Point to point winner Amber Warrior is the dark horse in the line up, but is returning from a long break and so it's his stable companion Day To Rememeber who gets our vote.
