6yo novice who has won five times at Cartmel (2m5f-3m1f, good/good to soft) this season and bumped into an exciting prospect when 20l second at Hexham (3m, soft) last time; his trainer has won this race but it's a very tough task for his return to a handicap and he could be vulnerable.

T: James Moffatt

Carries a 10lb penalty against some interesting rivals and his five chase wins have come at Cartmel (2m5f-3m1f, good/good to soft), so he needs to prove he can do it elsewhere; however, he's achieved a good standard of form and his experience is a positive factor; unproven on soft/heavy.

0-14 over hurdles but much better as a chaser; has crossed swords with Rapid Flight twice this summer, touching off that rival in June (2m5f) then beaten 1/2l in a match over C&D last month; unexposed over fences and another that enters calculations.

Successful summer/autumn, culminating in Durham National win at Sedgefield (3m5f, good) under Alan Doyle; shaped as if he stayed 4m in the Borders National at Kelso last time but that soft-ground fourth was well below the Sedgefield form, prompting a concern about soft or heavy ground today.

Ran well over hurdles latest and has often faced severe tests as a chaser but well held behind Jerrysback at Uttoxeter in June and yet to prove he's as good over fences as he is a hurdler.

Very useful handicapper in his prime; nearly 16l behind eased-down winner Gaboriot when fifth at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in March but that run came after a mammoth absence, and he kept on well to win run-of-the-mill contest at Hexham (3m, heavy) last month; today's forecast faster ground will also suit, and he won on his only previous visit to Cartmel; shortlisted.
