Verdict
Faro hasn’t shown much for new connections while Harry Hazard looks up against it at the weights but Morgenstern did finally win over fences at Stratford last month before being brought down at the second at Southwell. MORTLACH has a chasing pedigree and easily won a maiden hurdle at Warwick last month so looks the one to be on.
