9/1

Complete newcomer by Dansili is a brother to 1m2f-2m2f Flat/useful 2m hurdle winner Stratum. Bought out of Francois Rohaut's stable for €17,000 in July and the market will probably prove the best guide today.

Form:

Navajo Pass³³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

4/9

85-rated Flat performer last seen chasing home Hamish in the Melrose which was surely about the hottest staying handicap of the Flat season. Ought to be more than capable of winning races over hurdles and found a decent opportunity here.

Form:

Politicise^p⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A McGuinness

11/4

Several respectable efforts in handicaps for William Haggas this year, but not progressing, and sold for 60,000 gns to current connections. Well held in three starts on the level but should hold his own here.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Navajo Pass (4/9), Politicise (11/4), Dynali (9/1), Martello Boy (10/1)

In an interesting little race the Flat form of NAVAJO PASS and Politicise make the pair the most interesting runners with the former's recent efforts marking him out as the more in-form and progressive sort so he gets the nod. Dynali makes his debut but is worth noting in the market for respected connections.
