Verdict
My Reward won this off a much lower mark last year and went on to land a Listed race at Chester in September. But MIRSAALE has shown progressive form over hurdles since winning the 2016 renewal and returns to the Flat off a lower mark today. Keith Dagleish’s charge should go close while Listed winner Moonrise Landing goes well fresh and returns to handicapping along with High Jinx. A smart stayer on his day, the latter hasn’t won since 2014 but Dominating ended last season with a victory at Pontefract and beat Eye of The Storm over 2m at Ascot earlier. Zack Mayo won three times last year though is 7lb higher on his return and attempts today’s longer trip for this first time.
