Verdict
Richard Hughes has a jump jockeys' licence which allows him to partner AIYANA in this novelty event. The selection won over 2m at Lingfield last month. Wayne Hutchinson teamed up with Graeme McPherson to win the 2013 renewal but today's representative Flying Light returns from a lengthy absence. Spice Fair and Our Folly were well beaten in this last year and Reach The Beach, Underwritten, Wannabe Your Man and Cesarewith Trial winner See And Be Seen make more appeal.
