Kivotos gets the confident vote here with Mandingo Chief and Quarrymount rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Jockser last time out. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Mandingo Chief rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Garde Bien. He will appreciate the return to this faster surface and should be noted in the market. Quarrymount is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Spinaround. He is another that will relish conditions and will not be far away if the fitting of as first time tongue tie improves him. Of the remainder Gypsy Wood would have a chance on her bets form but is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Kivotos who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
