MOVINGSWIFTLYALONG has put in a couple of decent efforts in maiden hurdles so far and can make a winning return to obstacles following a bumper outing last time. Shane Ryder's charge finished fourth behind a subsequent winner last time out and is taken to get the better of Chapelier who ran well in a couple of maiden contests in the spring. Full Batten was running well in maiden point-to-point events when last in action and can claim third on his debut for this stable.
