Verdict

WEST AWAY has made a superb start for his new yard over fences and from a very fair mark back hurdling, he looks the answer. Who's Da Goose could do with brushing up his jumping but he is a definite threat, while an improved showing from handicap debutant Man Down would come as no surprise.
