Papamoa has failed to threaten since scoring at Hexham in November despite running into a place on a couple of occasions while On Broadway has yet to run up to his hurdling form in either of his two outings over fences. And The Man has won over hurdles at this track but has failed to complete his last three starts and the jury is out on him at present so the vote goes to FORESTSIDE. The Irish raider scored over timber here last month and can race off a 5lb lower mark back over the larger obstacles.
