Formscan - Maestro Conti looked a smart prospect on his UK debut when following up his Moulins success with an impressive display at Kempton over Christmas. Prominent in the Triumph Hurdle betting, he commands the utmost respect but having to give 3lb to MINELLA YOGA could be a tough task. Bought for 360,000 pounds after winning at Fairyhouse in November, he managed to get the better of the well-regarded Act Of Innocence (runs 4:10) at Newbury when in receipt of a hefty weight-for-age allowance and that piece of form may be the strongest on offer. The admirable One Horse Town's winning run came to an end here, but he is entitled to be in the mix along with Finale winner Tenter Le Tout.
