Irish raider; not obviously well handicapped but could have a fitness edge

At his best making all in small fields so that's a worry with likely competition up front
11	Hidden Depths Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Neil Mulholland	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Neil Mulholland	145	tp	4-1411	129	155	128	18d	—	—	+11	23.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Bang in form but just a question of whether he can cope with this rise in class
3	Solo Bay J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	163	t	P/226-	147	156	139	224d	—	—	+16	27.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%

For all that his course record catches the eye, he's stranded on a tough mark
