Mother Meldrum has only won in selling company over hurdles and though making a reasonable debut over fences at Exeter she didn't run as well there a few days later. REMEMBER FOREVER showed little over timber but has improved with each start over fences culminating in a comfortable victory on heavy ground at Lingfield. That was over 2m4f but he finished runner-up in a point-to-point so should stay the extra. Winning bumper and hurdler Absolutely Bygones lost his form and was sent to race between the flags but hasn't shown much improvement in two runs back under Rules. Lough Derg Island hasn't had much racing for his age and his best form has been on very testing ground.
