Verdict

HITCHED has gained both his career wins over 1m, and having shaped well until his stamina ebbed away over 10f at Ffos Las, he's fancied to get right back on track here. Buy The Dip has a lower turf mark to exploit and seems sure to give it a bold showing, with Rivas Rob Roy always worth a second look over this C&D.
