Nicky Henderson is casting his net far and wide during a brilliant spell for the yard and Worcester scorer Haul Away makes the journey north. He just did enough last time and has been raised a reasonable-looking 4lb. There should be more to come after just four chase starts but DO NOT DISTURB has struck a rich vein of form on recent starts, culminating in a convincing course success last time. He tackles 3m2f for the first time but stays 3m well and good ground will aid his cause. Gwencily Berbas is interesting on second start for David Pipe and Court Dreaming has his ground although the trip is a concern. Elmono may need the run.
