In depth
Verdict
Taming took full advantage of a drop in grade when an impressive 29-length winner of a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle last month. Despite a 7lb penalty, the Venetia Williams-trained six-year-old looks sure to take plenty of beating in another weak contest. Mister Mims showed promise on his hurdling bow last month and should improve. Harmonic is another to consider judged on last term's placed efforts if fit following an absence.
