Formscan  - A Cheltenham Grade 2 was all too much at this stage of his career for ACT OF AUTHORITY and he trailed home sixth behind subsequent Greatwood runner-up Lookaway, with last weekend's impressive Haydock scorer Kamsinas in second. This is a considerably easier task for Olly Murphy's representative and he can defy the 6lb penalty picked up for his hurdling debut success over C&D. Tedtwo has switched to the Kerry Lee team since a promising bumper campaign, while Panhandle Slim has also shown enough to warrant an interest.
