In depth

Verdict

Full is proving difficult to place and finished just behind chasing debutant Comber Mill when the pair were placed in the race won by Holryale here two weeks ago. Dark Invader beat a subsequent winner here in July but was well beaten attempting a hat-trick at Bangor and the fell at the first at Cartmel on Monday. Robin Des People recorded a first win under Rules in a hunter chase at Stratford in June but was raised 11lb for that. DINSDALE has a Flat pedigree but that hasn’t stopped him winning twice over hurdles and he should have too much speed for these if putting in a clear round.
