Verdict
Little Miss Dante easily won a Southwell bumper and is of obvious interest on her hurdling debut. JOSHUA DES FLOS was placed in two bumpers and a Punchestown maiden hurdle for Joseph O'Brien and has changed stables. He looks to have the scope to do well over timber this winter and gets the nod. Winning point-to-pointer Marty Mcfly will be better suited by hurdling than the bumpers he ran in April while Hombre De Guerra ran a fine race for a 200/1 chance over the course and distance in February.
