MATTERHORN wasn't extended to land the odds on his return over C&D a fortnight ago and, providing this doesn't come too soon, he looks up to defying a double penalty. Go To War looked set to be involved in the finish at the very least when jinking and unseating his rider approaching 3 out on his hurdles debut at Exeter and retains plenty of potential based on his bumper exploits, while Balee should have benefited from a considerate introduction to hurdling at Wincanton and can fill the places.
