Verdict
Drum Valley looks high enough in the weights reverting to hurdles and Home Run is 5lb higher than when scoring at Cheltenham at this time last year. Henryville went close at Cheltenham last month when finding only Sybarite too good. But he's been raised a further 5lb for that and FIRST FANDANGO may edge this. Tim Vaughan's charge followed a win over fences with a hurdles victory in this grade at Musselburgh and can effectively race off a lower mark today with a conditional's allowance taken into account.
