Hard to say that there is much strength in depth in this opener and it would be a surprise if anything outside of the top three was good enough to land this although all three have to carry a penalty. MONTANNA will need to do more jumping than he did on his debut and it’s hoped that he’s brushed up on that as his jumping efforts at Ffos Las on debut were pretty slipshod. He would have been the best of these on the Flat though and Peter Bowen has an excellent 38% strike-rate at the track. The full brothers Court Dreaming and Judge Earle are both recent winners here and enter the mix but the former won a race where a few disappointed and the latter has taken a while to score over hurdles.
