BETTER DAYS AHEAD claimed the notable scalp of Slade Steel in making a successful switch to chasing at Navan on his reappearance and appeals as the sort to take high rank in the 2½m-3m novice division this winter, so he's narrowly preferred to his stablemate Croke Park, who held on gamely to land the Drinmore at the beginning of the month. Stellar Story was hardly impressive in landing the odds in the Florida Pearl but is surely capable of a good deal better.
