Hard to knock his last three runs and solid claims despite his mark being on the increase

Bang there in all handicaps over hurdles; now goes chasing in new cheekpieces

Won over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good) in June and fair enough efforts in defeat since then

Second to the right horse here last time but has her stamina to prove over this far

Out of form and everything depends on what effect the new blinkers might have
