FROMTHETOP has got his act together over hurdles of late. A second at Southwell was followed with a victory at Worcester and Michael Scudamore's charge is taken to defy a 6lb rise. Prolific point-to-point winner She Is A Cracker went close over timber at Worcester last week and makes more appeal than the returning Oscar Flyer. The latter looks on a decent mark but may need his first start since April.
