Came clear with progressive runner-up to make it 2-2 over fences over C&D three weeks ago

Won readily at Market Rasen on second stable start and a 9lb rise might not stop him
5	Innisfree Lass Bay J:Charlie Hammond T:Stuart Edmunds	J:Charlie Hammond T:Stuart Edmunds	164	p	121-44	107	117	96	29d	—	—	+5	17.9	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Fair 4th at Carlisle on second chase start; could build on that on today's slower ground

Reappeared with encouraging third at Bangor and she might not be far away

Last month's chase debut at Warwick wasn't without promise; continues to drop down weights

Soundly beaten 3rd on recent chase debut but this step back up in trip is worth exploring
7	Bolintlea Bay J:Luke Scott(5) T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	J:Luke Scott(5) T:Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	159	—	5-3683	102	118	97	37d	—	—	+9	14.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Question mark about soft ground nowadays but not ruled out after close third at Carlisle
8	Galway Mahler Chestnut J:Marc Goldstein T:Karen Jewell	J:Marc Goldstein T:Karen Jewell	159	tp	P111P-	102	117	104	258d	—	—	+24	27	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Pulled up in April when last seen but went there on a four-timer; could bounce back

On a competitive mark but needs to be at the top of his game on seasonal/stable debut
