2-2 at this level with both wins coming for Jack Channon around this time last year; has not set the world alight in eight starts under both codes since joining this yard but he didn't run too badly in a 0-55 handicap here (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; interesting back in this company.

Doesn't have a great record fresh so this month's Windsor reappearance isn't hard to forgive; won easily from 2lb lower over C&D (good) last August having made all, but similar tactics won't be easy in this field, especially from the widest stall.
