EYE TO THE SKY shaped with promise on his debut in a Fontwell bumper, going like the best horse, and can build on that to make a successful start over hurdles for his new yard. Welsby's 3 runs over hurdles have all been at this course and he finished a good second on his penultimate outing, with French bumper winner Iskar d'Airy completing the shortlist on his hurdles bow.
