Maiden winner who didn't really get the breaks back in a handicap; cheekpieces added

Immediate impact over 1m last week for which he is penalised; every chance

Still early days in handicaps and this dual novice winner was only 2l away last time

Not that progressive but confined to 7f thus far so could improve for going a mile

Progressing; did it comfortably last time so a 6lb rise might not be the end of the world
7 (3)	Plantadream Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Karen Jewell	J:Charles Bishop T:Karen Jewell	137	—	/6-482	80	89	-	159d	—	—	+4	8.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%

NR (8)	Island Bandit Chestnut J:TBC T:Heather Main	J: T:Heather Main	137	b	1726-7	80	88	73	49d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
Rare off-day last time; he's a three-time C&D winner who can cope with this mark
