Verdict

THIRD ACT was all at sea on his hurdling debut at Wincanton in the spring, eventually unseating his rider. But there should be much more to come from Colin Tizzard's five-year-old, who has a jumping pedigree and was thought good enough to run in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March. Glowinginthedark has had a few chances but has gone close on a couple of occasions and should be thereabouts again while Uptendownone, who won a bumper here in August, was beaten less than four lengths on his hurdles bow at Plumpton. It's difficult to make a case for any of the remainder.
