Northern Bound was engaged in the 3.40 Bangor yesterday. Creative Inerta steps out of the hunter chase ranks and Keep Moving is fully exposed and usually needs a run. Fat Sam wasn’t beaten far at Stratford last month having won at that track earlier but has been raised a further 2lb. The handicapper is also keeping a grip on SHENTRI but he is only a four-year-old and, having placed the last twice over fences, may have a bit more to offer tried in cheekpieces.
Fat Sam 5-1 (11-8) Chased leaders, raced keenly, led before mistake last, headed flat, held towards finish, 2nd of 6, 1 3/4l behind Goa Lil (11-11) at Stratford 2m 5f hcp (4) gd in Aug.

Keep Moving (FR) 9-2 (11-5) Hampered 1st, mid-division, closed after 7th, mistake 11th, lost place next, effort 13th, no impression in 4th when blundered badly 2 out, went modest 3rd last, 3rd of 8, 26 3/4l behind Go Steady (11-11) at Warwick 2m 4f hcp (4) gs in May.
