Yet to win a handicap but third here last time and this longer trip is worth exploring

Won this last year and then two more; would go well if a change of headgear inspires
2	Welcom To Cartries Bay J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	161	t	128-44	130	137	-	85d	—	—	+10	24	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Has potential back hurdling as he's lightly raced and did finish runner-up in a Grade 2

On a tough mark but strong form when runner-up last time at Exeter; very solid

Up in grade and looks on a harsh mark; they have claimed 5lb the last twice as well
5	Gold In The Rivers Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:David Pipe	J:Tom Bellamy T:David Pipe	153	p	1-244P	122	134	102	27d	—	—	+21	26.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Below his Irish form in three runs for current yard and now tries cheekpieces
