BIG SOUND but found life tough in a higher grade at Cartmel last time but won in today's grade at Uttoxeter in July. He's just preferred to Perth winner Dotties Dilema, who unshipped his rider after a blunder at the same track last time. St Gregory landed a double during the summer but failed to complete his latest start having been raised 12lb. Hurdles winner Silver Dragon has a shout on his return to action if taking to the larger obstacles.
