Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners).
