Most of these don't seem to have much of a chance of winning many races over hurdles, even one as weak as this, and the relative class of DOVE MOUNTAIN should see him emerge victorious. Olly Murphy has enjoyed a fine start to his training career and this horse has been very consistent over hurdles, and has also put in some excellent performances on the Flat. He should have too much about him for the rest of these, with Towering , who has recently returned to better form, and Lunar Logic in a first time tongue strap possibly next best.
