The J P Ryan yard usually go well with their handicap hurdlers at this meeting in the last four years and recent chase winner, PRESENTING MAHLER can land the spoils. The mare, successful over the larger obstacles at Down Royal earlier this month can add to her two hurdle wins to date at the expense of Bercasa and Dixie Lee. The Gavin Cromwell-trained, Ejayteekay and Arctic Sofia are also worthy of consideration.
