Red Tyke has won again over hurdles since scoring on heavy ground at Hamilton and is clearly very tough. But this looks quite competitive with Dorry K and Panettone having won on their penultimate start, though both would probably be much happier on a faster surface. BLUE DUNE got involved in a duel up front when odds-on at Catterick nine days and had nothing more to give once headed. She's much better than that and Mark Johnston's filly can recoup losses here if ridden with more restraint. My Destination and Minty Fox have a bit to find to get involved.
