Verdict

A decent contest in which the majority of the runners have potential for further improvement over fences. Absolutely Dylan is a robust chasing type, so it's no major surprise that he caught the attention of leading owner Trevor Hemmings after scoring at Sedgefield in October and he should fare well if over the exertions of a tough race at Haydock. However, preference is for the Phil Kirby (doubly-represented) trained SKIPTHESCALES. This reliable staying handicap hurdler had a couple of today's opponents in-behind when making a winning chasing debut at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago.
  1. Skipthescales
