Despite making mistakes, MOLE COURT was second here last month when making his chasing debut. He’s in good form and the cheekpieces today should help him concentrate. Placed between the flags, Shot Tower should make a better chaser than hurdler and possibly has more scope than the likes of Callisto's King and Sinister Minister in this sphere.
