Young Dillon had been threatening to win for a while before coming good at Market Rasen, suggesting this longer trip will hold no terrors. Like Catterick winner Royal Milan he has a penalty to carry and the latter ran poorly on his handicap debut at Ludlow where his jumping let him down. KERROW (NAP) looked like taking a hand in the finish when coming to grief at Doncaster and though he had no answer to Emerging Talent at Wincanton he had the remainder in another parish and can go one better. Some Kinda Lama has shown a bit of potential though along with winning bumper Improved he'll need to show some progress to take a hand.
