Verdict
GONE FOREVER was never getting to Three Faces West at Carlisle last month but the winner has gone in again since. Brian Ellison's charge can get back to winning ways dropped in trip, though Three Faces West's trainer runs the unexposed Venue who is a danger. A winner on the Flat, the latter only found one too good on his hurdling debut at Catterick and should be winning soon. Warlu Way is a four-times winner on the level but makes his hurdling bow at the age of eight following a lengthy break and none of the others make much appeal.
