The vote goes to TECHNOLOGY, who looks sure to build on an encouraging start over hurdles at Chepstow over the Christmas period. Solar Sovereign was possibly unsuited by conditions at Uttoxeter, so is worth another chance judged on the promise of his hurdling debut here in December. Fontwell-scorer Montgomery also warrants respect under a penalty despite his subsequent absence.
