Fifth of 19 in the competitive Lanzarote at Kempton last time; could play a leading role

Reappeared with big-field win at Wincanton; this progressive 6yo is firmly in calculations

Returned from latest layoff with good second to Serious Operator; may build on that

Won at Wincanton in November last time; 5lb rise could underestimate this progressive 7yo

Won at Carlisle recently; strength of the form is dubious but he remains on a handy mark

Fair 3rd of 4 in Cheltenham Grade 2 latest; no surprise if he goes well on rare h'cap run
7	Foster'sisland Bay J:Emma Smith-Chaston(3) T:Micky Hammond	J:Emma Smith-Chaston(3) T:Micky Hammond	145	—	1-5425	124	149	99	28d	—	—	+21	27.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
The wind op and possible return to better ground could be positives; on last winning mark

Pulled up over fences the last twice but could stage a revival now back over hurdles
