maintained his unbeaten start over fences with one of, if not the best, performance seen in this division so far this season, a difference of opinion with his jockey 4 out the only negative; tracked pace, took strong hold, jumped better than last time apart from one notable error 4 out, soon back on bridle, upsides 2 out, went on early in straight, forged clear; a rematch with Jonbon - the only horse to have beaten him since joining this yard - at Cheltenham promises to be something to savour.

got back on track to a large extent back down in trip but shaped no better than fourth best for most of the way; mid-division, struggling soon after 3 out, untidy last 2, rallied well to snatch second on line; connections may well be tempted by one of the handicaps at Cheltenham after this.

met with defeat for just the second time over jumps, and had no excuses, unable to go with a younger rival having been close enough if good enough turning for home; mid-division, jumped fluently, went prominent before 3 out, effort early in straight, not quicken, lost second on line; he'll presumably step up in trip next time.

All 8 ran. Fences: 11.	Winning Owner: Mr Simon Munir & Mr Isaac Souede
Time: 4m 7.9s Closing Sectional: (4.4f): 66.5s (96.5%)
Overrounds: Industry SP 111%, Betfair SP 100%
A cracking contest featuring an octet that had already shown at least smart form over fences this season, and it was won in impressive fashion by a most progressive sort; Dysart Dynamo had them well strung out from an early stage, the time comparing very favourably with the handicap over the same trip later on the card. EL FABIOLO (FR) maintained his unbeaten start over fences with one of, if not the best, performance seen in this division so far this season, a difference of opinion with his jockey 4 out the only negative; tracked pace, took strong hold, jumped better than last time apart from one notable error 4 out, soon back on bridle, upsides 2 out, went on early in straight, forged clear; a rematch with Jonbon - the only horse to have beaten him since joining this yard - at Cheltenham promises to be something to savour.
