T: Brian Ellison

Career best when winning at Hexham (1m7f) in May, his third success over fences, all at about 2m; didn't match that despite finishing second next time but it was a solid return, back from a small break, when keeping on for fourth of seven at Market Rasen (2m1f, also good) 19 days ago; has weakened over this trip and beyond before but it looks worth exploring again.

C&D winner who produced a career best at Hexham (1m7f, good) in May when landing his third chase win but well-held when second of five finishers at Perth (2m, good) in June; consistent sort who may have benefitted from the short break and is not out of this.
