J: Ashley Lewis

Enjoyed a busy and productive first campaign last year, winning three times at Yarmouth and posting a good second over this C&D (good) last September; respectable effort on last month's reappearance at Yarmouth and he's an each-way possible if benefiting from that latest outing.

Three-time course winner (two over C&D), the most recent coming last August off 13lb higher, and he was runner-up here over 1m in October off today's mark; below his best when last seen 182 days ago but he could bounce back on his return.

Too good for 21 rivals at Doncaster in March (1m, good to soft) in March; last of 13 at Southwell under a penalty soon after but he didn't see a lot of daylight and he can be given a pass; revival on the cards.
