On Y Va gets the confident vote here with Mobasher and Fullards heading the list of dangers. The selection was a good third in a better race behind Squires Lane last time out. This looks easier and with conditions to suit he should prove tough to beat. Mobasher rates the main danger as he was a fair fourth behind Armicelli last time. However, he was let down by his jumping when full pressure was applied and for that reason we will take him on today. Fullards would be a danger to all on his best hurdles form of last season, but he has shown virtually nothing this time around. He does wear a tongue tie today for the first time so is worth noting in the market. Lady Lambrini is game and consistent but is very one-paced and we are happy to return to On Y Va as our idea of the winner.
