Verdict
Mossville, Symbiosis and Labelthou are three against the field in this novices hurdle and the narrow vote is given to Mossville. The selection won well last time out when beating Triggernometry and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Symbiosis rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ameretto Rose in a bumper he is sure to have been well schooled and he should be watched in the market. Labelthou has placed form over fences and hurdles in his native France but the suspicion is he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Dawn At Sea is unexposed and is another that could improve but he may be seen to better effect once handicapped and for the winner we return to Mossville.
