Race preview
SPANISH JOHN looks to have decent claims for trainer Pat Fahy. Twice successful on the Flat this year, the seven-year-old appears well treated back over flights relative to that mark. Having landed his sole previous victory over hurdles off an identical rating, he has plenty in his favour and with Harry Sexton claiming 7lb, it is difficult to see him not playing a leading role. Aswellasabentley has to be respected on what is only his third run for Gavin Cromwell, and stepping back up in trip should suit. Welcome Aboard, who finished third here on his handicap debut, is entitled to be all the better for that experience.
