DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTO was beaten only a length in a Grade 3 handicap at Chepstow last month. He hasn’t won over hurdles for some time but should make a bold bid in this. The progressive One For You beat Highway One O One at Market Rasen in March though the latter is weighted to reverse running while Polish scored over track and trip back in February and won a jump jockeys race on the Flat at Goodwood last month with both Agrapart and Sayo well behind. Umndeni is 6lb higher than when scoring at Newton Abbot in August while the veteran Dell' Arca won last year’s renewal and is weighted to figure again if back to his best.
