Way Down South
Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; more fluent jumping in the final stages at Limerick (2m6f, soft) would have seen him go closer than the 2.25l losing margin; tapped for toe at Cork (2m3f, good) last time back in trip when third; return to this distance is a positive; in the mix.

From the connections
“Way Down South won his maiden hurdle last year, and we thought he would progress from that, but he didn't. He went backwards. He enjoys fences. He ran poorly at Limerick and it was a gamble bringing him back so quickly, but the cheekpieces helped, the tongue-tie helped, the ground helped, dropping him back two furlongs helped, and he jumped well. But Dan knows him, it takes a jockey to know him - Gillian Scott, trainer.”
“Way Down South can be quite hard on himself, so we said we'd jump him out in front and see how we get on. I'm delighted it worked out and he is a nice horse for the future - Gillian Scott, trainer.”
