Irish bumper winner (yielding) who followed up on hurdle/stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in December, and he was disputing the lead and clear of the rest when falling at the final flight on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last time; the winner has followed up off 6lb higher so a 4lb rise for this fellow may well prove lenient; every chance he'll stay.

Irish bumper winner (2m, yielding) who followed up on his hurdle/stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in December and again ran well when third over this C&D (soft) last month; he's had wind surgery ahead of today's handicap debut and this unexposed 6yo could have a part to play.
