Fontwell winner Peak To Peak was clearly out of his depth in the Challow Hurdle on his second start under Rules and should find this easier. But GET ON THE YAGER sets a decent standard on his defeat of Willoughby Court at Market Rasen in November, though couldn’t confirm that form last time in a Grade 2. Point-to-point and bumper winner Agamemmon ran well for a long way on his hurdles bow at Taunton and should know more today while Ballymountain Boy, who has similar credentials, was third at Ludlow last month and is another likely improver.
