On his last winning mark but this is no easy starter over fences (point winner)

Enters the reckoning on the strengh of his fairly close fifth at Ayr's big recent meeting

Hurdle winner but 0-5 over fences and needs to turn a corner in the new blinkers

The hat-trick bid came up shy and it would be hard to call him well handicapped
10	Risk And Roll Bay J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:James Evans	J:Tabitha Worsley(3) T:James Evans	161	p	9354-V	123	135	112	8d	—	—	+11	20.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
