Having got off the mark at Worcester, No Through Road followed up in comfortable fashion at Ffos Las despite being easy to back. He'll be a popular choice to complete the hat-trick under a penalty but is taken on with SNUKER. James Ewart's charge goes well fresh and is only a couple of pounds higher than when winning at Carlisle in March, though looked beaten when falling behind Arc Warrior at Ayr earlier. Bill Amos' 10-year-old lost his way after that success, however, and Glenwood Prince was pulled up at Ffos Las in March when last seen.
