Airton won four times on the Flat and belied odds of 20/1 when making a successful start to his hurdling career over track and trip nine days ago. He has every chance of following up under a penalty but Barry Geraghty has come here specifically to ride the Nathaniel mare TOMORROW MYSTERY, who came up against a useful opponent in Oscar Rose when making her debut over timber at Worcester back in October. She’s had wind surgery since and hasn’t been rushed and that patience should be rewarded. At Its Own Expense led until the last here last month and should again make a bold bid to make all.
