Lawney Hill is perfectly capable of getting her charges fit on the gallops so FIVEWAYS' lack of a recent run isn't too much of a concern. Successful in a couple of bumpers in 2009, he had a number of subsequent hurdles winners behind when second at Cheltenham on his final start and can start making up for lost time here. Fontwell winner American Spin is still unexposed and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty but Rose Of The Moon went backwards after finishing second at Cheltenham in January, though this represents a big drop in grade. The others look to have plenty to find if they are to get involved.
