KASHMIR PEAK should be sharper today having finished second at Worcester recently on his first start since February. Bridget Andrews’ allowance helps his cause and he’s preferred to Gold Chain and Lyric Street. The former bids for a hat-trick off a 10lb higher mark having landed a double at Perth last month while the latter won at Carlisle in May but is upped a further 5lb for finishing second here on his latest outing. Dynamic Drive was fighting for a place when unseating over these hurdles last time but the Irish raider Baby Jake has to race off a 7lb higher mark than when scoring at Worcester last year.
