Visitant races from out of the weights in this having won a lower grade contest over track and trip while Can Can Girl has been thereabouts over shorter trips lately though stays this far. Haven Lady was in the mix on the all-weather earlier in the year and Fairmac has returned to a winning mark. A winner on the Flat in Ireland, OUR SCHOLAR has raced over hurdles since joining Jack Jones’ yard and landed a recent hat-trick. He could prove ahead of the handicapper if carrying over that improvement to this code and gets the vote.
