FIVE OUT OF FIVE ran well until lack of condition told when third to Dan Breen over 2m at Uttoxeter last month. That will have blown away any cobwebs and this big step up in trip is definitely in his favour. Evan Williams' dual hurdles winner could be a bit of value against likely market rival Zazamix, who still hasn't learned to settle and emptied quickly over 2m7f at Newbury on his latest outing. It's impossible to offer much hope for the other pair unless an accident befalls the principles.
