FARNOGE finished second in a point last year and made a winning start under Rules when landing a bumper at Uttoxeter in March. A switch to hurdles looks a natural progression. Flying Fortune jumped poorly and finished distressed on hurdles debut at Worcester but a drop back to 2m might help. Atreides has switched stables but Grumpy Rosie is bred for jumping being a half-sister to winning hurdler Mayhem Mya.
