Race preview
BUTTE MONTANA improved when breaking his maiden over hurdles at Stratford last month, beating the reopposing Mordred with plenty in hand. He looks capable of upholding that piece of form despite carrying a 7lb penalty, with Mordred, who made his hurdling debut that day, possibly able to get a bit closer this time. Captain Ivan stepped up when winning from the front at Worcester on his latest outing and shouldn't be ruled out.
