Verdict

Dat My Horse was a good second at Cheltenham last time out behind Iris's Gift and if he can reproduce that effort he will not be far away with conditions again in his favour. Gumley Gale rates the main danger he was a disappointing favourite last time when fourth behind Nickle Sun but he has been freshened up since and with conditions in his favour it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form. Young Buck has been running well in a similar grade of late but gives the impression he is in the handicappers grip. In Question is another to consider he was a fair third last time out behind Mardani and he looks quite well handicapped compared with some in the field. The Flyer also ran well on his debut this season when second but the drop back in trip is not sure to suit. Rising Generation could also run well as he is sure to strip fitter than when fifth on his debut run this season.
