RELIGIOUS CROSS (1) took advantage of a key withdrawal at Taunton over the christmas period but couldn't have been anymore impressive when winning by 16L ahead of a talented rival in second. Won with any amount in hand and could defy a penalty. STEP AHEAD (2) sets a useful standard having won on his most recent outing at Cheltenham in a maiden hurdle. Looks above average and a major player. RECKLESS SPENDING (15) disappointed in G2 company at Cheltenham when last seen and better is expected in this more realistic assignment. Watch the market for the chances of SUNSET BOULEVARD (3) who is on debut for Venetia Williams.
