RENWICK has been raised 5lb for a short-head victory over 2m4f at Uttoxeter but he's very progressive and will make a bold bid to lead all over this shorter trip. Master Work reverts to hurdles after a couple of good runs over fences and completed a double on quick ground at the end of last year. Magna Cartor won three times over hurdles in Ireland but is on a long losing run and has an absence to overcome. Bang On hasn't really progressed since his Taunton victory but Malachite has been racing in better company since his victory at Huntingdon last February. Hattaab showed his first sign of ability over timber when beaten a head at Southwell a week ago and can race from the same mark.
