Verdict
Fandabidozi is only 1-27 in career starts and SISTERANDBROTHER is a little less exposed. Also a winner on the Flat, he finished a close third at Wincanton in March and jockey bookings suggest he is the pick of Milton Harris’ duo. Wolf Of Oxshott, another winner on the level, and Love Mystery are interesting newcomers to hurdling.
