WOODBROOK BOY improved over fences this summer and shaped as if back in form last time so, while he's almost certainly better in that discipline, he's still worth chancing from a significantly lower hurdling mark, particularly as serious opposition looks thin on the ground. Exit To The West has won a point since last seen under Rules, so he's another one to consider for a shrewd yard.
