TORN AND FRAYED (2) is thriving this campaign. Gaining a dominant 2. 75L Aintree win over 3m1f marks him as the one to beat. Major player selected to go back-to-back. NOCTE VOLATUS (4) fell on seasonal return at Aintree. Holds ability to feature if jumping cleanly and warrants respect. HILLCREST (3) resumes after nine months. His solid chase placing here before a break suggests he can be competitive fresh and warrants serious consideration. GABBYS CROSS (1) joins a new yard and although winless for some time he is well placed to show improvement and deserves consideration. Impossible to discount.
