Arrives in good form, a C&D third 24 days ago; can make his presence felt once more

Comes here in decent nick, third at Carlisle 18 days ago; this C&D winner is considered
2	Step Above Bay J:Patrick Wadge T:Lucinda Russell	J:Patrick Wadge T:Lucinda Russell	165	t	5-3P4F	106	114	102	24d	—	—	+4	18	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Fell heavily over C&D latest; ought to be thereabouts in bid for a first chase win

Rare below-par Carlisle eighth latest; sort to bounce back for last year's winning yard

Encouraging start for new yard when fourth at Sedgefield on Boxing Day; likely player

Recent form is not so encouraging, tenth at Musselburgh last month; others appeal more

Not disgraced when a C&D fourth 24 days ago; possibilities off a 3lb lower mark
