BETTER GETALONG was down to a career-low mark last time and, reverted to hurdling, gained his first success for over 4 years at Carlisle 12 days ago. He remains well-treated on old form having been rated 138 at his peak and he could be able to go in again. A pair of unexposed rivals dropping back in trip can give him most to think about, with Ned Tanner feared most ahead of Lord Roco.
