Novices' handicap chase winner at Ffos Las on his penultimate start, when 5lb lower. Well held last time back at that venue over 3m. Return to this trip should help, and he is not ruled out.
Multiple chase winner, whose latest success came here over 2m, when the front pair were clear. Carries a penalty for that, and has been placed over C&D, so no surprise if he is able to follow up.
Multiple chase winner who has won here over 2m3½f, and whose last four wins have all been over this trip at Cartmel. On a losing run of 10, and has now dropped to a handy mark.
Has won over this trip here over hurdles and has his optimum conditions. 4lb higher than his most recent win, but well held both starts since.
Forecasts
Chimes Of Dylan (2/1), My Renaissance (5/2), Alderbrook Lad (3/1), Ever So Much (7/2)
My Renaissance goes well here and could be well treated under a penalty. However, stamina remains a slight concern with CHIMES OF DYLAN in the field, and Tim Vaughan's gelding is preferred now back over this trip. Alderbrook Lad is also on a dangerous mark.
