The race pace looks to be controlled by Mont Ventoux the odds on pop here plus he wants to stay out of any trouble too. MONT VENTOUX (1) has been placed in all four Hurdle runs this time in. Races in or near the lead too so can take bad luck out of the equation as in poor leaping by rivals or even falling ahead. Nine times he has raced as a Hurdler for seven placings, a fourth and a miss. Looks unbeatable here on form. MURPHY (7) first try over jumps but in a very astute leaping yard so be very tote wary. CHANCELLOR (5) has missed in two Hurdle runs for a new yard this time in. Dual trial winner prior over the Hurdles. Sly one. MANUKA (4) has run fifth then fourth in his two Hurdle runs this time in. Won a Hurdle trial in between. Chance. CHARRED (6) has been distant in his Hurdle races so far. Second in a Hurdle trial last month behind a rival here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mont Ventoux is a win wager.
