Lee Strand Handicap Hurdle

Pray Tell was fourth last time out and has raced over today's trip before, with a second among his last five starts standing out. Yet to win in that spell and shouldering 166 lb, the 63-day layoff since is the main concern for this leading contender.

Idy Wood struck form with a win in this sequence and rates 127 for us, third best in the field. He was pulled up last time out after a 93-day gap, but the deeper figures and profile make him the narrow selection here.

Magnor Glory heads our figures at 129, clear of his official mark, with two thirds among his last five starts. Fourth last time out having been pulled up before that, he's winless in that spell but the placed efforts make him the leading threat here.

Jacovec Cavern was third last time out and second before that, having won earlier in this sequence, though two unplaced efforts further back show inconsistency. He's fit from a recent run and has raced over today's trip before, which both count in his favour.

Thornleigh Frank was third last time out but that followed two ninths and a sixth in his previous three starts — a mixed level of form. Winless in that spell, he does have today's trip covered and carries a fair weight, without standing out from this field.
