ISTIMRAAR hails from a top yard and he can register a sixth career success by taking this highly competitive handicap hurdle. The selection is returning from a short break and he can see off his rivals here with The Character, a winner here last time out capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Outcrop who has been running well in defeat in recent starts.
