Race preview
ANOTHERWAY looked a smart prospect when winning a maiden hurdle very easily in January and was still in contention when falling in a Grade 2 in March. He drops in grade here but nonetheless faces recent Fred Winter winner Lark In The Mornin. The four-year-old stepped forward markedly from his maiden hurdle runs when winning at Cheltenham but, while he might progress further, he faces a smart selection. Ascending is another with valid form claims and may benefit from a first-time tongue-tie.
