Verdict
Rio San Vio can land the hat-trick at the expense of Modafaa and Colnside Bobbin. Nicky Henderson's charge sank a Jonjo O'Neill hotpot in fine style last time out with consumate ease and this should be a straight forward task en route to a hurdling campaign. Modafaa has to be respected as an inmate from the Paul Webber yard. He is well bred as a son of Darshaan and the market will serve as a guide to how forward he is. Colnside Bobbin is in receipt of the mare's allowance. Brendan Powell had a winner on Tuesday so the stable are at least in a modicum of form. Redstar Attraction has a very positive jockey but will need to have improved leaps and bounds for his opening effort. Lead In The Head starts a career under rules having previously raced between the flags. Rio San Vio looks difficult to oppose and we shall make no attempt to do so.
