SIS Handicap Hurdle

Landed a winner four starts back but has been unplaced in his two most recent outings, and 63 days off the track adds a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going, though 168 lb is a stern ask.

Charlie's Dilemma has experience of today's trip and going, and our rating of 107 just edges him ahead of his 16 rivals, but he's winless in his last five starts and comes from a yard without a winner in 14 days.

Placed second last time out and third three starts back, Clone Cross has shown ability without a win in his last six starts, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear asset; the main concern is a jumping record that includes a fall and two pull-ups in recent starts.

Winless in his last five starts and pulled up five runs back, Matter Of Opinion does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and his rating of 102 suggests hidden ability — the concern is that recent form offers little encouragement.

Gerrys Wish has been second three times in her last five starts but that pulled-up run lurks in the record, she's yet to win in recent form, and a trainer striking at just 2% is a concern; the trip and going hold no fears, though 161 lb is a stiff ask.
