A Grade 2 winner over hurdles at this course, MAMBONUMBERFIVE made it 2 from 2 over fences when scoring with something in hand at Newbury last month, form boosted by the runner-up winning next time, and he could be up to landing the hat-trick with further progress to come. Lump Sum has also taken very well to chasing and is feared most, ahead of Mirabad.
