A fairly useful winner in bumpers, WHAT PATH was clearly not himself when beaten at short odds on his hurdling debut at Listowel in September. Well worth another chance for his powerful stable, he gets the nod to leave that in his wake and come out on top. Present Soldier rates a likely improver upped to 3m and is the main threat, ahead of Easy Fella. Making Country is another to note.
