Verdict

IF NOT FOR DYLAN was sidelined for 20 months after winning this race in 2023 but he looked as good as ever when striking at Newcastle on his second run for this yard in January. He remains on a workable mark up 4 lb and shades preference over the hat-trick seeking Fairlawn Flyer. Cases can be made for several of the others, with Jacks Parrot and Shighness both shortlisted.

  1. IF NOT FOR DYLAN (IRE)
  2. FAIRLAWN FLYER
  3. JACKS PARROT (FR)
