Back to form after wind surgery, third at Southwell in December before a 6f win at that track last month; bumped into a well-handicapped opponent over C&D 17 days ago (Woodhay Whisper third and 3lb worse off); solid chance off an unchanged mark.

Beat Woodhay Whisper over C&D in November and 7lb better off with that rival today; quiet on his last three starts but there have been mitigating circumstances (5f; two of the runs in Class 5); things look in place for a more potent effort this time.
