CHU CHU PERCY has to give weight away all round but put in a solid effort over course and distance last month when looking capable of taking higher order over fences. This rates a tougher task but he should be up to it. Dun Faw Good's profile is hallmarked by consistency and the 11-year-old remains fairly treated following a 3lb rise for a battling Cartmel win latest. Arizona Bound is of interest off bottom weight if able to repeat an improved Southwell run and Classical Milano, a Hexham winner last time, is another worthy of consideration.
