An uninspiring contest from all angles and HAYDENS MOUNT is awarded the vote in the hope that this lightly-raced inmate from the Jimmy Frost yard may have room for improvement. He hasn't gone too badly on two recent outings over fences, jumping acceptably both times and wouldn't have to show any more to go close. Kings Equity landed a Newton Abbot handicap hurdle and will find the trip and ground to his liking. He's a danger to all if taking to the larger obstacles on his fencing debut. Nesnaas has it to do under topweight and needs to put a poor effort behind him whilst Crack At Dawn, beaten in a selling hurdle last time, at least found the winner's circle earlier this year.
