Verdict
TECHNOLOGY ran green and was too keen on his hurdling debut at Chepstow but that was still a sound effort and he’ll know more today. He might be a bit of value against likely hot favourite Amrons Sage, second at Warwick on hurdling debut and again here in December. Tzarmix and Keable were third and fourth respectively here last month in the race won by Egbert who is trained, like the selection, by Alan King. Finescope may need the experience but is worth a second look.
