MONTEFELTRO is clearly difficult to get to the track but he need only reproduce his third to The Jugopolist at Uttoxeter in October to beat this modest bunch.

Foxes Bridge hinted at ability on his hurdling debut but was pulled up next time at Chepstow and Flat winner My Lord simply hasn't taken to the winter game.
