Ahead Of The Game made a decent start at Taunton in November but hasn’t raced since. OVERTHETOP is a brother to a winning bumper and hurdler and changed hands for £150,000 following a winning debut between the flags in Ireland. He looks one with a future and can make a successful start under Rules. Temple High is a half-sister to two winners and may also be worth following while Unai is a half-brother to three winners, though was a relatively cheap purchase.
