3-3 over C&D, his latest success coming off the back of a 108-day absence eight days ago; has a 4lb penalty to carry and not the best of draws, but he won nicely enough last time and remains favourably treated on previous form; major player under Simon Walker.

Comes into this in fine form and bids for a course hat-trick after beating My Brother Mike by nearly 5l over 8.6f on Saturday; no problem with the return to this trip (won over C&D the time before) and a 4lb penalty unlikely to preclude another big effort under his capable amateur.

Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level.

All eight career wins have come at this track and he bounced right back to form with two wins (8.6f/9.5f) last month; only found an unexposed 3yo too good in his hat-trick bid over C&D last time and just another 1lb higher, but he has an awkward draw.
