Verdict

Having shaped like a stayer in bumpers, MUSIC DRIVE was well on top when making a successful hurdles debut over 19f at Galway 3 weeks ago and with plenty more to come from him, he could be the way to go. She Is Electric and Flaming Moon have just about achieved the most of these but this trip could be an issue for both, so Mofasa is feared most.
