In depth
Verdict
Montessori Mio is from a stable in good form, has shown a fair aptitude for hurdling and is taken to score, he was a fair fourth last time out at Wetherby behind Newtown Dancer goes on any ground and will be hard to beat. Cheyenne Chief looks the main danger he has a chance on his fourth behind Sunridge Fairy at Cartmel but fell last time out at Carlisle as long as his confidence has not been effected he will not be far away. Hot Produxion showed improved form on only his second start over hurdles when ran out of it close home by Silver Buzzard at Haydock if he improves again he will not be far away. Rotuma was behind Montessori Mio on his debut and there is no reason why he should reverse that form. Great As Gold was a winner on the AW over one mile four furlongs and he may be seen to better effect over a longer trips over hurdles. Scotmail Park is from a yard that is doing well with it's hurdlers and is worth a cautionary look in the market. Not Proven showed a modicum of ability on the flat but will needed to have improved for the switch to hurdles to win on his debut.
