Verdict

Having taken a step back in the right direction here recently, FOLLOW YOUR ARROW may well be the answer. Indeed, this step back up in trip should be in his favour and he has been handed what appears to be a fair mark for this handicap debut. The same is also true of Augharue who, like fellow 5-y-o Johnson's Blue, needs a second look, but if on a going day back hurdling Tokaramore could be the main danger. Glory also enters calculations.

  1. FOLLOW YOUR ARROW (FR)
  2. TOKARAMORE
  3. AUGHARUE (IRE)
