BLOTTOS can give the weight away to his four rivals as he ran well enough under a penalty against an improver at Catterick after winning a maiden here last month. It's Your Move is looking very one-paced and may do better when tackling fences and Aaron Lad has been a disappointment so far for new connections given he was second twice at Limerick when with Kieran Purcell. Just Bobby was well beaten on his hurdling debut but the longer trip should suit Micky Hammond’s runner.
