Formscan - WONDERING WHY started out in a class 2 Newbury bumper for previous connections, suggesting he was well thought of at home, and he stepped forward from that encouraging fifth to land the spoils at Huntingdon. An exciting recruit to hurdling, the four-year-old has since joined Ben Pauling's upwardly-mobile stable and he's expected to have been well schooled ahead of this assignment.
