Verdict

The staying hurdle ranks are pretty threadbare at the moment but if there's an up-and-comer it could be in the shape of CRAMBO, who caught the eye with his fast-finishing third in a big-field handicap at Haydock 4 weeks ago and, with the services of experienced pilot Johnny Burke enlisted, Fergal O'Brien's 6-y-o can make it third time lucky dining at the top table. Veterans Paisley Park (bidding for a fourth success in this), Dashel Drasher and the returning Champ head up the opposition.

  1. CRAMBO
  2. PAISLEY PARK (IRE)
  3. DASHEL DRASHER
