REPORT TO BASE was the best of these over hurdles and has clearly taken well to fences, though he was denied a visually impressive 'win' at Exeter on New Year's Day due to jockey Adam Wedge wrongly bypassing a fence. With the soft ground again in his favour compensation awaits despite the yard's quiet spell, though Shear Rock wouldn't be a pushover if fully tuned up after a long absence. Muffins For Tea is the clear pick of the remainder.
