        Verdict

        Love And Glory made a promising start to his hurdling career when finding just Simarian too good in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month but failed on a return visit to Prestbury Park earlier this month so Gary Moore's gelding looks best watched in a race taken to go to ART TREND, who gets the vote with Mount Helicon considered the main threat. The selection was capable on the flat for Peter Chapple-Hyam and made a satisfactory start to his hurdling career for Paul Nicholls when a close third behind Cosmea at Wincanton. Still with every chance before unseating Ruby Walsh at the fourth flight at Warwick subsequently, he looks worth another chance. Wise Hawk has a bit to find with Art Trend on running at Wincanton but makes more appeal than Charlie Egerton's Special Branch Ami, who was well held in the race that the selection unseated in. Alan King's French import Mount Helicon was useful on the flat and could be of interest on his first start over timber but it is Art Trend that is marginally preferred.
