Poor debut over fences when pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las latest. Effective from 2m5f to 2m7f on soft ground, but is inconsistent and needs to leave that chase debut behind.

Verdict
The Evan Williams yard have started to hit some form, so Frankie Faulkner must enter the reckoning having filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings. The nine-year-old is unlikely to be far away, but he may have to play second fiddle once more, with TRY THE MONEY a touch more attractive. Henry Oliver's charge is also trying to break a run of seconds, but his latest effort behind a subsequent winner at Uttoxeter reads well. Grandad's Cap is the pick of the remainder.
