Dunbar is 0-13 under Rules but did win a maiden point in October and was too kenn on his chasing bow at Taunton. KEEP ROLLING has only run six times over hurdles and has always looked a chasing type. He starts off over fences on a decent mark and might offer more value than Silver In Disguise, who was a very easy winner at Catterick earlier this month but had little to beat and has been raised a massive 15lb. Crypto was a beaten favourite in two of his three hurdle starts but may fare better over the larger obstacles. Supreme Escape had Ostuni back in third when getting up close home over track and trip in December but ran no sort of race at Wincanton five weeks ago and is now tried in cheekpieces.
