Consistent type over hurdles who has also put in some nice recent efforts on the Flat. Trainer has made a fine start to his career and the ground shouldn't be an issue for him, and so a bold bid can be expected once again off top weight.
Form completely tailed off for Nicky Henderson and hasn't been at his best since switching to this yard but has still hinted at a return to form. Probably being pitched at the right level; not discounted.
0/10 over hurdles to date but has looked equally ineffective over fences recently. Back in selling company now and should find this easier, but has plenty to find on the basis of the level of form he brings into the race.
0/32 under rules and has proven particularly ineffective over hurdles. Beaten 52L at Southwell last month and easy to discount once again in a selling race.
No real improvement on his first start for this trainer at Uttoxeter last time, finishing down the field. First time tongue strap on now and dropped to a selling race, and should be capable of a more accomplished performance.
Has done most of his recent racing over this C&D, but those performances haven't given much cause for encouragement. Plenty more needed from this exposed-looking contender.
Sole hurdles win came in August 2014 and has shown his better form over fences since. Ground fine for him but would probably prefer to race over a little bit further than this.
Forecasts
Dove Mountain (8/11), Towering (2/1), Bollin Line (8/1), Lunar Logic (16/1), Volcanic Jack (28/1), Rossington (33/1), L'Es Fremantle (66/1)
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.
