Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list.

Up against it behind a big improver on handicap debut at Southwell but still a promising third; although others appeared to be going better over that same C&D four weeks ago, it was he who stayed on best to win going away; has further to go today but looks a stayer in the making.

Only third best on merit and didn't achieve huge amount when remote second in 2m course maiden in November, and well beaten over that trip here later that month; however, moves up to 2m4f for today's handicap debut and may yet deliver on promise shown in good-ground bumpers.
