Rich Ellis's 60th Vinyl Countdown Handicap Hurdle Race

Jaramillo heads this eight-runner Stratford staying contest on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of the chasing pack and giving connections every reason for optimism over this testing twenty-two-furlong trip. Porter In The Park is the most obvious threat, just a pound behind and capable of making this competitive, while Dinons and Jackstell also hold sound claims and cannot be dismissed in what shapes as a genuinely open affair. That said, Jaramillo’s edge at the top of the rankings, combined with the scope for a horse of his profile to see out this marathon trip strongly, makes him a worthy call. Jaramillo is the selection.
