Effectively 11lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon but should keep progressing

Career-high mark appeared to find him out last time and others might be better treated
9	Marty McFly Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Sandy Thomson	J:Brian Hughes T:Sandy Thomson	158	p	104064	93	107	98	20d	—	—	+5	13.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Course winner last summer but has been struggling to recapture that form

Everything points to him benefiting from this longer trip on handicap debut

Encouraging last run and can improve now handicapping over a trip he's bred to stay
10	Upfordebate Bay J:Lee Edwards T:Patrick Neville	J:Lee Edwards T:Patrick Neville	157	t	65716P	92	100	89	28d	—	—	+11	15.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Modest and handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) failed to raise her profile
12	The Three J'S Brown J:Danny McMenamin T:Stuart Coltherd	J:Danny McMenamin T:Stuart Coltherd	144	—	0865	89	101	39	34d	—	—	+8	10.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Takes some imagination to believe he can suddenly spring to life on handicap debut
13	Paddy The Panda Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Daragh Bourke	J:Sean Quinlan T:Daragh Bourke	142	t	5268/5	77	98	62	131d	—	—	+6	7.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
16-race maiden who ran okay after an absence at Carlisle (2m3f) but no more than that
11	Foreva Alfie Bay J:Craig Nichol T:Paul Robson	J:Craig Nichol T:Paul Robson	148	p	5/P60P	83	105	84	91d	—	—	+7	8.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
