C&D winner last season; comes here in top form, winning at Ayr (1m) in July and at Southwell (7f) last week; penalty to contend with but likely to make another bold bid.

Useful in his younger days but is inconsistent now and arrives in no form; on the positive side his record on Tapeta reads 1171010 and he's 5lb lower than when winning here last winter (6f); no surprise were he to pop up.

A bit in and out this year, but his latest close fourth of 11 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) was one of his better efforts; return to this grade in his favour with his record at 0-70 level reading 932121; worth a second look.
