Accordingtogino has only finished out of the frame once in six hurdle starts and sets the standard in this maiden. But he could find one too good again in the shape of LIES ABOUT MILAN, a well-bred brother to stayer Tales Of Milan who has already won between the flags. Golden Sovereign has run quite well at Exeter and Chepstow since returning from his summer break and also rates a danger while Ben Pauling’s yard has hit form and he gives a debut under Rules to pointer Apple Rock. Bonanza Sam also has point-to-point experience.
