Although ASTERION FORLONGE is better known for his chasing exploits he was a Grade 1 winner in his novice hurdle campaign and can make a successful return to the track after 12 months on the sidelines. The veteran Summerville Boy, another who has tasted Grade 1 success over hurdles, can give him most to do.
