Winner of two of his last three starts including by 2L in a handicap over 1m4f at Kempton last time out. Raised 5lb for that victory and holds strong claims for a leading stable.
Beaten 2¾L when finishing fourth behind Sky Defender in a 1m4f handicap at Kempton last month. Work to do if he's to reverse that form racing off a mark 7lb higher than for his most recent triumph.
Wore blinkers (retained here) for the first time when finishing 2L third in a handicap over 1m6f at Chelmsford recently. Versatile trip wise and he is of interest having won off higher marks in the past.
Returned to the Flat with a 2½L fifth in a valuable handicap over 1m3f at Kempton in November. Given a break since then and is a notable runner with a tongue tie tried for the first time.

SKY DEFENDER has been in good form in recent starts and he can follow up a recent Kempton success with a victory in this small field handicap. The selection can see off Original Choice who has shown good form over further in the past while third place can go to Deal A Dollar who finished behind the selection when the pair met at Kempton last month.
