Verdict

DANDRIDGE has been running well without winning so far this season including when finishing fourth at Cheltenham last month. The selection ran well when finishing runner-up in this race last year and can go one better off the same mark this time around. Theinval finished just in front of the selection at Cheltenham last month and can claim second in this flatter track while Double W's and Alisier D'Irlande are others worth noting. The former disappointed at Cheltenham last month but had been in good form prior to that and drops in trip here while the latter may attempt to make all in this having taken a Grade 3 contest last time out.
  1. Dandridge
  2. Theinval
  3. Double W's
