PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
David Christie has won the last six open races on the trot at this venue in a run which stretches back to 2019, and he also looks to hold all the aces in this years renewal. Bold Enough was a winning machine through the spring with eight wins on the trot, whilst stablemate VAUCELET is a top-class hunter chaser who has already won three times at this venue including in the last two renewals of this race. He is hard to oppose. Of the others, the 124-rated hurdler Wowsham and the ex-Alan King Jay Bee Why, are new additions to this division.
