AW novice winner last March and followed up in Chelmsford handicap 6 months later. Creditable fourth of 13 in Lingfield handicap in November. Should go well under promising 7 lb claimer.

Benoit de la Sayette takes a handy 7 lb off PITCHER'S POINT who can notch a third career success on his return from a short break. Recent C&D winner Starfighter remains with handicapping scope based on the form he showed at a similar time last year and can provide the main threat under Luke Morris.
