In depth

Verdict

Stratford third Our Rodney has been struggling to last home but has the best form of those with hurdling experience, though a couple of newcomers make more appeal. Unexpected Party makes his racecourse debut but is by a leading NH sire and is a half-brother to two winners in the Flat. HASANABAD hasn’t really sparkled since joining Ian Williams but won twice in Ireland up to 1m6f and a switch to hurdles could give him a new lease of life.
