Boughtbeforelunch scored over track and trip last month but got no further than the first at Huntingdon a week ago when unseating after a blunder. Cash To Ash posted a better effort at Wetherby recently but Iskabeg Lane looks no nearer winning despite slipping back down the weights and stablemate Dartford Warbler has failed to figure since scoring at Hexham during the summer. GENEROUS DAY won over timber at Market Rasen on Boxing Day last year and returned to action with a close-up fourth in a tight finish at Hereford on his chasing debut. Henry Oliver's charge will be sharper for that and normal progress should see him bang there at the finish. Dalaman was progressive over timber but was unlucky on his chasing bow when falling after being hampered at the first.
