CAPTAIN IVAN (2) scored over 2m3f at Market Rasen in February. Confirmed condition when second from this mark at Carlisle (2mf) on only start since. Prefers tackling this longer trip and holds good claims. THE PADDY PIE (5) won four of his past five outings. Also a course and distance winner. Difficult to overlook despite climbing mark and veteran status. Hurdle winner SPECIAL DRAGON (6) is yet to take to fences. Might come good representing shrewd connections. KINGS JUSTICE (7) was still in contention when falling behind the second mentioned last time. Potentially dangerous under the lighter weight.
