      Verdict

      It looks very hard to oppose MONTE CAVALLO against this grade of opposition and it would be a major shock if Rebecca Curtis' gelding gets turned over. The seven-year-old was far from disgraced on a recent outing on the Flat at Newbury and has been given a rating of 130 over hurdles having demolished a field at Wincanton in March. He wouldn't realistically have to run up to that level in order to collect. I'm A Gangster makes a quick return to racing having unseated at Southwell, though the market wasn't exactly speaking in his favour on that occasion. Toledo Gold has won once from 14 starts over hurdles and is plenty exposed while the remainder simply don't look good enough on what we have seen so far.
