Verdict

Successful on his third outing in Irish points, MOVES LIKE MONTY makes plenty of appeal on paper as a half-brother to 4 winners from the family of the Grand National winner Monty's Pass. He can score on his first start over hurdles, with Irish bumper winner Chosen Templar feared most as he makes his stable/hurdles debut, ahead of Josie Alice.

  1. MOVES LIKE MONTY (IRE)
  2. CHOSEN TEMPLAR (IRE)
  3. JOSIE ALICE (IRE)
