Mylo looked unlucky at Fontwell last time and is worth another chance in a race where Lesdream and Roveretto are rated the main dangers. The selection finally came good, after some frustrating performances, when successful at Market Rasen in August and looked to be travelling well when badly hampered and unseating Tony McCoy at Fontwell. Off the same mark today, Jonjo O'Neill's gelding has an obvious chance and is given the vote to resume winning ways. Top weight Roveretto reverts to hurdling on a fair mark but may struggle to concede weight away all round on this ground. Count Tony struggled off his new mark when well held at Wincanton when last seen and he may just need this on his reappearance. Lesdream also comes here without a recent spin but Jimmy Frost's gelding looked progressive last term and has ground conditions to suit. He makes more appeal than either Ice Crystal or Celtic Vision, who have given little sign of encouragement in recent outings. The vote then goes to Mylo, who has looked a reformed character of late and can resume winning ways.
