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.

Bettered low-key stable debut (over hurdles) when second to very progressive rival over C&D (good) last month and remains well handicapped on some of his form for Jamie Snowden; 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.

Looked in very good nick when readily winning Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, good) for his owner-trainer last month but faces quite daunting assignment off career-high mark on this return to a handicap; now in the care of Tristan Davidson.

Three bumper wins included Listed honours and he won a maiden hurdle last summer; goes chasing on the back of a close fourth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft; perhaps better on good ground) and should have a role to play if finding some fluency.

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.
