Verdict
MOSSLEY won a Grade 2 hurdle at Cheltenham last December and was second in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at The Festival in March. He was pulled up at Aintree subsequently but has been given a nice rest since and only need jump around safely to get off the mark over the larger obstacles here. Canni Thinkar was just beaten in a three-runner race at Folkestone last week and should fill the runner-up spot again today as Road Train Bob had an entry at Towcester on Sunday and Try Catch Me's form is modest to say the least.
