Punctuation had decent form on the Flat up to 1m6f. He came up against a couple of above-average juveniles on his hurdling debut at Ascot but ran well for a long way and will know more today. Get Your Own just failed to overhaul Across The Line at Market Rasen in December and is 7lb better off so should turn the tables. PAROS was far too keen on his UK debut at Sandown and paid the price in the closing stages. His win in France last year has worked out well so he’s worth another chance with headgear fitted to help him settle here.
