Better Getalong is jumping fences late in life and has been well beaten in both starts so far. It took SLANELOUGH 17 attempts to get off the mark over the larger obstacles but everything fell into place at Ayr last month and a similar effort in this lower grade may well suffice. Morningside is still a maiden under Rules so Away At Dawn may be the danger even though he’s making his chasing bow. He won over hurdles and placed between the flags as a four-year-old son has more scope than most of these.
