Cut And Run finished behind Kennack Bay over timber at Southwell last month and is worse off at the weights. The latter has a chance if taking to fences but BELLE JOUR jumped well and bolted up over track and trip 10 days ago and should have the scope to defy a penalty in this company. Toad Of Toad Hall was just beaten over an extended 2m5f here last month but stamina might be an issue today.
