Verdict

It’s impossible to have much faith in any of these. Ice Konig is 1-20 over hurdles and has been beaten in sellers this season, though this isn’t much better. Civitesses disappointed when well backed but only fourth at Taunton last week. Two Hoots is clearly one of his yard’s lesser lights but Culm Counsellor was is decent form here in the autumn, though has struggled off higher marks since. MONDERON led until approaching the last on his return to hurdling at Wincanton on Sunday and could fare better here on a 2lb lower mark.
