6lb rise in the weights asks more, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet.
2	Joecooker b Jamie Hamilton · Rebecca Menzies	Jamie Hamilton · Rebecca Menzies	166	t	3-8432	117	124	106	20d	—	—	+8	23.3	11/2 15%
Produced a career best over fences at Wetherby latest and likely to go well again.
5	Moon Phases ch Derek Fox · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	Derek Fox · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	159	—	0/2-42	110	125	114	58d	—	—	+8	22.9	5/1 17%
Went close to getting straight off the mark over fences at Kelso; longer trip will suit.
4	Quantock Hills b James Bowen · Warren Greatrex	James Bowen · Warren Greatrex	161	—	505-35	118	116	102	50d	—	—	+8	20.6	13/2 13%
Yet to fire since switched to fences this campaign, but could improve for the longer trip.
1	Glen Road br Peter Kavanagh · Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	Peter Kavanagh · Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	168	—	1-3114	119	-	-	20d	—	—	+16	27.3	15/2 12%
Thriving over hurdles this term, and this switch to fences may unlock further improvement.
NR	Powerofjet b Callum Bewley · Martin Todhunter	Callum Bewley · Martin Todhunter	147	—	814-31	98	120	101	62d	—	—	+4	15.1	8/1 11%
Justified favouritism on second run over fences and remains open to improvement; player.
3	Jus De Citron b Paul O'Brien · Harry Derham	Paul O'Brien · Harry Derham	164	t	4/13-7	115	-	-	20d	—	—	+10	18.6	11/1 8%
Appeals as the type to do better over fences but recent form gives him a bit to prove.
7	Dunnet Head b Patrick Wadge · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	Patrick Wadge · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	151	tp	930-9P	102	124	-	38d	—	—	+11	13.8	33/1 3%
Last season's chase form would give him claims if he's benefited from recent wind surgery.
