FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ANOTHERWAY looked a smart prospect in winning his maiden hurdle very easily in January and was in strong contention when falling in a Grade 2 in March. In that recent Fairyhouse race, he was making good headway and travelling well when exiting at the second-last so his full ability is as yet unknown. He drops in grade today but nonetheless faces recent Fred Winter Hurdle winner Lark In The Mornin. He stepped forward markedly from his maiden hurdle runs when winning at Cheltenham and while he might progress further, faces a smart selection. Last season's Triumph Hurdle-fifth Ascending is rated 131 and while he disappointed in a February maiden hurdle, now runs in a first-time tongue-tie.
A novice hurdle for four years old and upwards that have not won more than one hurdle race and have not finished first, second or third in a Grade 1 or Grade 2 weight-for-age hurdle race
