NEWTOWN RAMBLER finished a good third on just his second chase try here in a race that looks solid form for the grade 23 days ago and, appealing as the type who could progress further, he looks a sound player once more. Chase debutant Hatfield Hammer, Battle of Ridgeway and Doyen Magic are others fancied to be in the shake-up.
