Presenting The Way hasn't been seen since his point-to-point success over a year ago and will probably just need this. HOWLONGISAFOOT cost connections £75,000 in March after he'd landed a point-to-point at Bennetsbridge. He's a youngster with a lot of potential and can make good use of the weight he receives from Call Carlo, who dead-heated with Miner Distraction in a big field at Wincanton. Brians Well showed some promise in his opening run between the flags while Philip Hobbs' newcomer Hello George is out of a winning bumper.
