Verdict
ONTHEFRONTFOOT did well to beat a potentially useful sort in Magellan at Ayr on hurdling debut and that form certainly sets the standard. He has a success in the pointing arena on his CV as well as a comfortable bumper victory at Sedgefield and seems to be going the right way. He can defy his penalty at the main expense of Gripper, a Flat winner for Ralph Beckett and who produced a much better effort on a second start over timber when a fair fourth in a decent Perth novice hurdle. Improvement is expected and he's the threat in receipt of 10lb from the selection. Check French import, Maison D'Or in the market on his first start for Micky Hammond.
