Kept on well for ready success in Class 2 handicap at Bangor (3m, good) a fortnight ago and is now 4-4 over fences since cheekpieces were refitted in June; 2m5f on slower ground will also suit him; ought to be very hard to beat in current mood.

In The Air

Made all for comfortable success in Stratford handicap (2m1f, good) this month and has now won two of his last three; will be fine over today's longer trip and may gain a tactical advantage if allowed to dictate from the front but has quite at bit to find at the weights with the other two.

Catch Him Derry

Developed into very useful hurdler last season and was excellent third in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in March; signed off with another very good effort at Aintree's Grand National meeting but takes on a bang-in-form rival on this chasing debut.
