Race preview
DINONS hasn't looked back since falling on his hurdles debut at Bellewstown in July having racked up a hat-trick of victories. His most recent came at cramped odds at Sedgefield where he could not have won any easier, and the return to 3m should pose no issues under his penalties. Bishopswood Flyer makes his debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies, who likes to target some of his better prospects at this meeting, while Valadom is better known as a chaser but should give a bold account from the front for his 10lb claimer.
