Mr Dow Jones, Regal Exit and Smiths Landing look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap hurdle and the vote goes to Mr Dow Jones. The selection won well last time out when defeating Jivaty and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Regal Exit rates the main danger on his best form as he is taking a big drop in class but he as failed to progress as expected and he is passed over on this occasion. Smiths Landing ran well on his debut this season when fifth behind Mirjan. He is sure to have come on for the run but that form has since been let down. Of the remainder Glacial Sunset is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for the winner we return to Mr Dow Jones.
