Huntingdon Race 4 - Jcb Hydradig Novices' Handicap Chase

THE DARK EDGE (1) returned from a spell with a solid 2.75L fifth in a 5000m hurdle at Plumpton. Showed enough in that effort to suggest improvement is imminent. Capable of much better now fitter eased in distance. Deserves another chance. LYNESS DANCER (4) produced a strong second attempting a 4600m Worcester hurdle following a creditable third over 4400m at Stratford-On-Avon. Maintains consistent form shaping as a reliable performer among similar company. Must be a chance again. GETUPTHEYARD (2) fell when resuming from a break tackling a 4000m Uttoxeter steeplechase. In the mix if none the worse for that. REFORME (3) cannot be discounted.
