9/2

Useful handicap hurdler for Tristan Davidson, winning twice at around 20f during 2020/21 season. Hard to knock consistency last term and worth noting if strong in betting on chase bow for new yard.

Forecasts

Minella Trump (1/2), Baron De Midleton (4/1), Ask Paddington (9/2)

MINELLA TRUMP continues to go from strength-to-strength, justifying strong market support when completing a remarkable 6-timer over fences at Sandown 12 days ago. He can come out on top again. Chase debutant Ask Paddington can pose the chief threat.
