      Verdict

      Mylo, Chockdee and Burren Moonshine are three against the field in a trappy race for punters and the tentative vote is given to Mylo. The selection was disappointing last time out but prior to that he had been a fair second behind Tommy Spar that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he looks a value bet. Chockdee was a fair sort over hurdles at his best but he was all out to win a seller last time. He has the ability to go close but lacks scope and is passed over for that reason. Barren Moonshine is another that could go well on his latest second behind Seigfrieds Night in a hurdle, he is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and should be watched in the market. Longstone Lady was second in a selling hurdle behind Quotable last time but will need to improve for the switch to fences and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Mylo.
