Verdict
KEEP MOVING had been racing over shorter before stepping up to this trip and scooting away with a Warwick handicap. Not surprisingly he's been hit with a 9lb rise but this looks no tougher and he can complete a double. Cave Top completed a double over hurdles on this track just over a year ago and his three runs over fences have been in better company so he can go well under his big weight. The lightly-raced Carole's Vigilante won a maiden hurdle at Hereford at this time last year and was having his first start for new connections on his chasing debut at Ffos Las so is expected to make progress. Burrenbridge Hotel was in very good form at this time last season but ran poorly at Market Rasen last time.
