Race preview
HAMMER DAN appeared revitalised by a 133-day layoff when opening his account at Newton Abbot in June. A 4lb rise for that victory looks on the lenient side for David Pipe's charge and a brace could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from No More Bolero, who arrives on the back of his best effort over hurdles to date, while sustained market support for handicap-debutant Absolutely Fine would be interesting.
