Race preview

An intriguing contest which features the jumping introduction of Archie Watson's smart Flat stayer Stag Horn, a facile winner of a Pontefract conditions event when last seen in October. He could feasibly be a cut above this field but dual bumper scorer World Of Dreams ran out a decisive winner on his hurdling debut at Fontwell and defying a penalty wouldn't necessarily appear beyond him. For all that, if there is any value, it may lie with BRAGANZA BAY, who produced an eyecatching late burst to finish fifth on his hurdling bow at Market Rasen, suggesting there could be chunks more to come from him over this longer trip.
