2026 William Hill Hurdle Runners
Dan Skelton’s Let It Rain sneaks in at the bottom of the weights for this event and the lightly-raced contender is a potential improver. Third at Ascot last time out, the seven-year-old is a mare that could be on the upgrade. All In You beat Dance And Glance the last time they clashed at Sandown, and both take their chance here and look to have the potential to continue their progression.
A winner at Wincanton last time out, Un Sens A La Vie could be chucked in off 130, if able to continue his improvement. Meanwhile, Ben Pauling’s Lanesborough was fifth in the Lanzarote at Kempton, but could enjoy step back in trip here.
Tutti Quanti won the Gerry Feilden at Newbury, but has the burden of top weight in this event for Paul Nicholls, while Hughie Morrison’s Hot Fuss was a taking winner at Windsor on his last outing, but does carry a penalty for that victory.

William Hill Hurdle Tips
A three-length winner of the Gerry Feilden last time out, Tutti Quanti looks a huge player here. With more improvement sure to come, he can duly defy top weight for Paul Nicholls. Let It Rain has huge potential and can chase home the Ditcheat raider for second place. Veteran Go Dante has always excelled in these 2m handicap hurdles, and he can outrun his odds for third.
