Ad Vitam won a lowly seller at Redcar last time and Checkpoint's win came in a plating race on the Polytrack in October. Outlaw Torn is upped a grade after going close at Newcastle while Echo Of Lightning won over track and trip last month but failed to cope with a 6lb rise on his latest outing. Live Dangerously is not without a shout off his current mark on his return and Alanos may be capable of better for his new yard though his only win in France was back in 2011. RALPHY BOY faded badly in the closing stages of his reappearance. But he looks up to scoring off his current mark on last season's form in better company and the course and distance winner gets a tentative vote to come good once again.
