Dan Skelton’s My Drogo has clearly had his issues, winning over fences at Cheltenham in December 2021, and not being seen again until reappearing last October with a ninth of 11 at Aintree. He returns to hurdles this afternoon where his current record is four wins from four starts, headed by the Mersey Novices’ Hurdle at the Grand National meeting in April 2021.
He runs in a handicap for the first time here and has to shoulder top-weight trying a new trip for, but if he stays he is the class act here on his old form, and this will possibly be his only chance to get into the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in March.
