DUBROVNIK HARRY clearly hasn't been straightforward to train but he was third in a better handicap than this on his last run over hurdles and if he can recapture that form following a short-break, he's more than capable of winning a race of this nature. The reappearing Bective Abbey is totally unexposed tackling 3 miles for the first time on handicap debut, while Bertie B was unsuited by the run of the race last time and could outrun his odds now stepped up in trip.
