Like the earlier maiden hurdle there a few in this who will be better in handicaps although we still have some fascinating runners to assess. The penalised pair Clondaw Anchor and Lamanver Pippin both look to have stiff tasks giving weight away and the focus falls firmly on the expensive point-to-point purchase DICKIE DIVER and the already rated 133 Dashel Drasher who would have the edge in experience. The vote goes the way of the former though from a yard that have a plethora of good horses of this type. Becher Chase winner Walk In The Mill adds further interest although he’s likely to find one or two too speedy here with Carlisle bumper runner-up Tarada worthy of respect.
