In depth
Verdict
Ridapour, Dashing Dollar, Oudalmuteena and Montagnette are the four to concentrate on in this Handicap Hurdle, and Ridapour gets the vote. The selection won well when defeating Dashing Dollar on heavy ground at Towcester last time. There is no obvious reason to suggest that Ridapour will not confirm that three length success over Dashing Dollar, and he looks the one to beat. Oudalmuteena ran well enough behind Double Agent at Folkestone last time to make him competitive here, and he is expected to be involved at the finish. Montagnette was well beaten at Hereford last time behind Southerncrosspatch, but he would have chances on the pick of his form and he also has the services of useful claimer Andre Tinkler to boost his hopes. Of the remainder, New Perk has shown a fair level of form and could go well, but we are happy to side with Ridapour.
