Though still showing signs of inexperience, ONETHREEFIVENOTOUT was only beaten a length by the useful Lump Sum at Wincanton and was clear of the remainder, With further improvement almost guaranteed, he gets the nod in this ahead of hurdling newcomers Wee Tony and Gentleman's Relish, though the latter was impressive in a bumper at Newbury. Court In The Act led until approaching the last at Hereford so this easier track should suit while Moon Chime is another boasting strong bumper form.
