A Challenge 25 policy on the sale of alcohol operates at all fixtures. If you are lucky enough to look under the age of 25 you will be asked for ID before entering. Everyone over the age of 18 will be given a wristband at the gate which will need to be shown to order alcohol at our bars. Wristbands can be collected on the gate throughout the night and we will not be able to serve anyone without a wristband. Buying alcohol for anyone without a wristband is not permitted.

Race Summary

Sceptic was dropped 1lb for his recent fourth at York, which was a solid effort, and he remains capable of taking another step forward. Nails Murphy has shaped well on both starts, including when third under a penalty at Kempton, and he enters the reckoning on his handicap bow. The vote, though, goes to HALLA DUBAI, who has progressed with each run to date and an opening mark of 83 appears to be workable following his second at Doncaster

Win: HALLA DUBAI Danger: Sceptic
