Mr Tallyman's recent consistency can't be faulted but Micky Hammond's charge has had his chance and the feeling persists he'll eventually be better over longer trips than this. Exit To Anywhere ran well at Punchestown in May but was well beaten at Listowel subsequently and has his first start for Martin Todhunter today. Art Broker won at Ffos Las in June but ran a stinker at Bangor last month and may struggle to give 7lb to BULLET MAN. A winner on the Flat at Doncaster in April, trainer Paul Webber has a good strike rate with the few runners he sends to this track and the six-year-old has the ability to make a winning start over timber in this grade.
