Kellys Brow should appreciate the step up in trip having got off the mark over 2m at Uttoxeter but he has to give 4lb to RAAJIH, who has shot up the weights but didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up to the much-improved Bobowen last time, though you could certainly give the luckless Catch The Fire a chance of beating Gordon Elliott's charge on a line through the winner. Ryton Runner may have to wait a little longer before opening his account and Red Riverman ran a shocker at Worcester and isn't certain to stay this far while Talk Of Saafend's form is also over shorter.
