In depth
Verdict
Ontos has been in good form of late and although he was well held on his latest outing, that wasn't a bad contest and he may be able to make the most of his superior fitness in this. Maceo, who had a pipe opener on the flat last month, took a crashing fall when last seen out over hurdles and it remains to be seen whether his confidence has been affected, while stablemate Supreme Fortune may find this ground too fast for him. Rigmarole has plenty to prove off this mark as does Lenny Lungo's Plutocrat.
