In depth

Verdict

A decent hurdler, Up And Go has a clear chance at the weights, but was far from fluent in a couple of starts over fences at the end of last year. He'll need to improve his jumping if he's to get the better of a couple of these. Indian Voyage is upped 10lb for scoring at Carlisle recently but he did it well and should go close again. ROCKAWANGO didn't get very far when losing concentration and falling at Kelso last time. But his earlier defeat of the re-opposing Little Glenshee at Carlisle showed him in a better light and he gets the nod on that form.
