My Condor had conditions to suit at Southwell last time and posted a much improved performance and this front runner can bounce out and make all here. The winner of a handicap chase over the course twelve months ago, his form this season has taken a while to pick up possibly due to the unfavourably easy ground conditions that existed but he is well handicapped on the best of his form. No Supper has raced rather keenly in his two outings of late but his run last time was too bad to be true although his placed form does not amount to much. The ex-Irish Covey made a pleasing UK debut last time over 2m 4f. The concern with him is that this trip may prove to be on the sharp side as his previous outing was over a trip just short of three miles. Added to that is the fact he is a maiden after 13 starts, with three poor placings amongst them which does not bode well for his chances. Market support for handicap debutant Title Deed should be noted with first time cheek-pieces applied. Wujood is bred to be better but unfortunately for connections isn't that capable. He contested an amateurs event at Goodwood last time in ground that was much too deep. Gordon Elliot's Genari should be watched in the market. He was cheaply purchased at the Doncaster sales recently and connections have obviously seen something in him other than what is stated recently in the formbook because he has been very disappointing but his trainer has proven on more than one occasion that he can get the best out of horses. MY CONDOR is given the nomination to land this handicap hurdle.
