In depth
Verdict
Always On The Run has more recent point-to-point form than Fifteen Kings but will find it tough giving weight to the four-year-old EAGLE PASSING. Gordon Elliott's gelding, a half-brother to a bumper and hurdles winner, was started off in a Listed contest at Limerick last month and shaped with plenty of promise. He's obviously held in some regard and should have too much for these. Frosty Steel hinted at ability at Market Rasen in November while newcomer Somme Boy is worth monitoring for any market interest.
