A truly woeful contest in which Master Ring is sure to attract support given he has only had three runs over hurdles and was third at Uttoxeter last time. But we’ll take a chance on SEA’S ARIA, who was better here in June reverting to hurdles and has been dropped another couple of pounds since. Mr Fickle was third over a longer trip here last time and is back on a winning mark so rates a danger and Dusky Raider has the champ doing the steering but it’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
