In depth
Verdict
Montanna scored over track and trip last month but has been raised 10lb for this and ACCORDINGTOGINO (NAP) is preferred. The latter finished second in a higher grade chase at Cheltenham last time and, with a tongue-tie added to the usual cheekpieces, Dan Skelton’s charge charge can go one better. Landsman went close at Ludlow recently and can also figure while Alminar has undergone wind surgery since last in action. Sunset Showdown will be sharper for last month’s comeback at Newton Abbot and can reverse running with Fox Pro.
