The tongue-tie has made a difference and he completed a Hexham four-timer five days ago (2m4f, good); only two others got round but he's on a roll and might be well in with a penalty.

Won five in a row over fences in May/June (2m4f-3m, good); it's possible he's gone off the boil judged on his last two runs but good to soft ground may not have suited at Cartmel last time and he's not ruled out.

Big improver who won five consecutive good-ground chases in May/June, the latest over C&D; slightly disappointing when only fifth behind Sean Og here last month and will probably have slower ground to contend with today but further progress is not yet out of the question.

Major improver who made it 5-7 over fences when completing a five-timer over C&D (good) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and this tough 7yo could continue on the upgrade; big player.

Capable on his day for Jamie Snowden, winning three times; didn't sign off for that yard in bad form but he made a quiet debut for this yard here when 3m1f was no excuse.

Bettered low-key stable debut (over hurdles) when second to Passengerontheship over C&D in June and and again ran well when third over C&D (also good) last month; up in grade but remains well handicapped on some of his form for Jamie Snowden (including on soft/heavy ground); likely contender.

Both hurdle wins came on easier ground but has been running well in defeat on good ground this year; having just third run over fences when third of 4 finishers in 2m5f Cartmel novices' handicap last month, only weakening late on; back in trip here and not one to rule out.

2m bumper and maiden hurdle wins (good) among his course record of 121P; exited too far out on this month's Cartmel chase debut (2m5f) to know how close he'd have run the prolific Passengerontheship, but he was traveling easily at the time; remains of interest.
