3	Best effort as a chaser when landing second success over fences at Catterick in January. Chased home (an enterprisingly ridden) subsequent winner over C&D next time before finding class 2 at Kelso too much. Expected to bounce back. 1st Pick 3 Defence Witness (Ire) Jockey: Theo Gillard Trainer: Sam England J: Theo Gillard T: Sam England	98	-	-	-	67%

1	Has brushed up his jumping and is thriving as a result, winning small-field events at Ffos Las and Wetherby last month. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick back down in class. 2nd Pick 1 The Grey Man Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Harriet Dickin J: Non Runner T: Harriet Dickin	96	-	-	-	25%	Scratched

4	Point winner who proved a different proposition switched to fences when seeing off 6 rivals at Newcastle. Probably needed the run 12 months on when fifth there 4 weeks ago and better expected now up in trip. 3rd Pick 4 Mobile Mamma (Ire) Jockey: Jamie Hamilton Trainer: Ruth Jefferson J: Jamie Hamilton T: Ruth Jefferson	100	-	-	-	39%
