Verdict
Dove Mountain had plenty of experience on the Flat and though beaten a long way by the odds-on Wakea on his hurdling debut at Down Royal he will have come on for the run and must be on the short-list. SUPREME VINNIE (NAP) also carries a penalty for his Flat victory but he's been in very good form in handicaps over timber and makes a quick reappearance after a good run at Punchestown on Wednesday. He should be up to winning this as the remainder have shown very little, though Serveontime showed some potential on his racecourse debut here last month.
