Verdict

Mysterious Man was a fair stayer on the Flat and made a winning start over hurdles over a longer trip at Worcester. But he may not have the pace to cope with French import SIR TOBY, who followed up a debut second at Worcester with a smooth win at Market Rasen. Hahnenkam and Code Of Law need more but Canton Prince was well backed when landing a Newton Abbot bumper last month. What A Dandy has won twice on the all-weather but not since 2014.
