Denied hat-trick last time and needs to better that form but may still have more to offer

2-2 over fences; tougher task today but this progressive 8yo may well be up to it

0-7 over fences but ran well over C&D latest; no surprise to see another prominent finish

Won on chase debut in November and this unexposed 6yo is open to further improvement

Didn't jump well on chase debut; not written off for top yard but something to prove
