Made the frame in first three handicaps, including a very close second over C&D on heavy

Off the mark last month, his second handicap; a possible if handling today's ground

0-7 over hurdles; may benefit from this drop back in trip but others have stronger claims

Kept on well to win at Carlisle last month but today's slower ground is probably not ideal
