J: Alistair Rawlinson

Front-runner who returns to turf 4lb higher than when last seen on it after a Polytrack win in the winter; 0-11 round here down the years and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Lingfield a month ago.

Scored over C&D (fourth victory here) in December and collared only late on having set a good pace when fourth of eight in 1m Kempton handicap 45 days ago; he merits serious consideration eased 1lb in a headgear change.

Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D.
