Dashel Drasher silk
Dashel Drasher
Selected at: 13/2

Dashel Drasher is probably better known for his exploits over hurdles but the fact that he has a 4lb lower mark over fences catches the eye. Third behind Pic d’Orhy in a Grade 2 at Ascot when last seen, this is a steep drop in grade and he can take full advantage.
