In depth
Verdict
Dindin is 7lb better off for a five-length beating by UNIT SIXTYFOUR here eight days ago and 8lb lower than his last winning mark but struggles to get his head in front nowadays. Ben Pauling puts a 7lb claimer up on the improving top weight, who can complete the hat-trick. Heavy going may have been to blame for Haldon Hill’s poor run last time at Ffos Las while Pawpaw has placed the last twice over hurdles, though didn’t really take to fences last year.
