Verdict
Long-standing maiden Rossington looks to have little chance in this unless something happens to the other two. MOHAAYED won at Taunton in February and then ran well in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham. He was third in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr on his latest outing and that is much better recent form than Casablanca Mix’ fourth at Cheltenham – the latter is also conceding 5lb.
