Verdict
Brahms De Clermont is penalised for winning a maiden hurdle at Exeter but should still go well for Paul Nicholls and has plenty in hand with Mullaghboy on these terms. But MOMELLA is less exposed having made a winning start over timber with a success at Newton Abbot when beating a horse rated 137. Dan Skelton’s mare should edge this on that form and gets the nod.
