Verdict
Music To My Ears will be a warm order here with Duringthenight the only realistic-looking danger. The Jonjo O'Neill-trained selection won easily on his hurdling debut and looks the type to make hay while the sun shines. Duringthenight has finished second in each of his last three races and looks the type to win races in this sphere. He can chase the selection home on his hurdling bow. Stanley Park has shown some ability, albeit it at a modest level, while Stocks 'n Shares won a Hereford seller last December but was later disqualified after returning a positive sample. Overall then, it's very hard to escape the claims of Music To My Ears, who can give Tony McCoy another winner.
