C&D winner last spring; back from a winning spell over fences with a very good second of six in 2m Hexham handicap hurdle 22 days ago; another bold showing is on the cards nudged up 1lb with that form having been well advertised since.

Overall record of 0-16 but he's fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles, including when second at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's been dropped another 2lb and is not ruled out.
