In depth
Verdict
Mio Caro looks to have been found an easy opportunity to open his account over hurdles with Vandal and Stoksies Boy looking the main danger. The selection was a fair third behind Lacdoudal last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him win this. Vandal rates the main danger he showed a modicum of ability on the flat but he has a193 day absence to overcome. Stkesies Boy is another that could go well he was a fair fourth behind Dear Sir on his debut and is sure to have learnt from the experience. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed but for the winner we return to Mio Caro.
