1m 7f 144y
Going: Good to Soft

Race Tip
A G2 winner in the jumpers flat sphere LILY DU BERLAIS (6) brings some classy hurdle form and could be primed for this returning from a break. The Sam Crawford trained mare won a Class Two handicap at Kelso in May and comes out well on figures with her mares allowance. ROADLESSTRAVELLED (3) looked useful quickening smartly to make it two-from-two when hurdling at Wetherby earlier this month. May prove the main danger. Fellow unbeaten hurdler ROCHEVAL (4) commands respect up in grade after creating a nice impression at Ayr and Carlisle last season. SARACEN BEAU (5) also needs to be included.
