CARTONNE hasn't looked back since sent chasing and is weighted to complete a hat-trick on the back of his latest easy Musselburgh success where he jumped very well. Charles Ritz appeals as the sort to take to fences and is next on the list ahead of Fire Dancer, who is worth another chance for his current yard.
