FormscanBy Alan Magee - BETTER DAYS AHEAD was a smart sort over hurdles last term winning the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and made a winning start over fences at Navan last month. The Milan gelding showed a tendency to jump left in the straight but finished strongly to beat Slade Steel over 2m4f. The selection had Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle winner Stellar Story behind when third in a 3m Grade 1 novice hurdle at Punchestown last spring. Croke Park scored on his chasing debut over 3m at Fairyhouse and again made all when gamely holding on in the Grade 1 Drinmore Novice Chase at the same venue. Stellar Story was probably unsuited by the slow pace when narrowly beating two stablemates in a Grade 2 over this trip at Punchestown last time.
