TIMEFORM VIEW Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles and improved when runner-up on handicap debut at Huntingdon in January. Took another step forward while leaving the impression there’s more in the tank when third in first-time tongue tie at Kempton (21f, good to soft) since so he’s a must for the shortlist.

Race Summary:

PLAY SMARTER

Cases can be made for most despite a small field but DUKE OF MORAVIA seems sure to relish this extra distance, so Henry Daly’s unexposed 5-y-o is taken to get the job done The main threat could be No No Tango, who ran his best race to date when third at Kempton last month, while Amrons Sage and Whatsupwithyou are another couple fancied to be in the mix.
