CARTONNE took his record to 3 wins from 6 starts over fences when making all at Doncaster last time and he can make a bold bid to add to his tally. Heading the list of dangers is Jobesgreen Lad, who won this race last year off only a 2 lb higher mark, while Mister Marbles is open to improvement as he makes his second chase start on his stable debut.
