Race preview
Cases can be made for several but the casting vote goes to MYBURG, who seemed to have plenty in hand when scoring in a similar event over 2m3f at Catterick earlier this month. The son of Sageburg was given a 5lb rise for that success but he could have more to offer. Court Jurado hinted at a return to form when he finished second over fences at Fakenham on his latest outing and looks to have slipped to a workable mark returning to hurdles, while Hungry Tiger and Tommaso also make the shortlist.
