Verdict

MOLE COURT is an assured jumper who arrives with a progressive profile, so he boasts leading claims under one of the more experienced riders. Court Master is potentially well treated and could give it a good go from the front, while last-time-out winners Herewegohoney and Destiny Is All are also worthy of respect.
