After winning a couple of point-to-points, Cereal Killer was a short-priced favourite on his debut under Rules in a Ffos Las bumper but weakened quickly once headed. He should do better now switching to hurdles but has a question mark hanging over him now. THE DEVILS DROP hasn’t really threatened in his three runs so far over timber but has been taking on better opposition. He’s probably worth one more chance as his rivals today look nothing special, though Kilfilum Cross may reverse course running with Spider's Bite with that run under his belt.
