BAREST OF MARGINS is progressing and should go well after a pleasing chase debut on just a fifth start. Connections clearly feel chasing is his game and that latest effort behind Getaway Jewel at Market Rasen confirmed the view. He's been left on the same mark and can go one better. Goaheadwiththeplan also produced his best run to date when beaten a neck by Cawthorne at Uttoxeter but the race can't be taken at face value with only four fences jumped due to low sun. Koi Dodville has fared well on both chasing starts and should be involved, whilst Begoodtoyourself isn't ruled out having finished just a place behind the selection last time but is far more exposed over fences with less room for improvement.
