Narrative: Small but tactically interesting novice hurdle with two improving sorts and one comeback runner. Berto Ramirez has the highest RPR in the field (138) and comes here off a ready Down Royal win with the comment suggesting more to come on summer ground; he also gets weight from his elders as a 4yo. Chanceawetmorning is unbeaten in two since joining Elliott and represents the strongest yard, though up 7lb. Polepatrick was a promising Clonmel third on comeback but has been off 50 days and looks the weakest on TS. Recommended: Berto Ramirez Top RPR by 10lb, in-form (won at Down Royal), gets weight as a 4yo and the spotlight flags him as a continuing improver on summer ground — most upside in the field. Alternative: Chanceawetmorning Unbeaten since joining Elliott and ready off 9 days; the 7lb rise is the only meaningful query. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-06-21 03:04 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11992461
