5/1

Improved since sent handicapping over hurdles and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth on chase bow at Tramore 2 weeks ago, making rapid headway having been left with plenty to do. One to consider with few miles on the clock.

THEWAYBACKHOME made an eye-catching debut over fences at Tramore 2 weeks ago could be worth chancing up against mostly exposed sorts. Previous winners of this race Hit The Frame and North Of Nashville head the dangers.
