Dual winner here (7f/1m2f) who is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield in November, but he is a hold-up performer who likes to come late off a strong pace and it won't be easy picking his way through this field.

Recorded his second win when landing a C&D handicap in September but he's not hit the same level since and was tailed off at Lingfield in December; that run probably came too soon but he's not easy to predict and is still 4lb higher than for last win; comes with risks attached on return.
