Off 5 months, won 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 23 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed and getting a dream run. Not an obvious type for the follow up.

A tricky contest, but the market support for the well-handicapped MABRE at Southwell 7 weeks ago was noteworthy and he could be the way to go having won over C&D in the past. He went with purpose for a long way on that occasion and might be set to strike from a good draw. Recuerdame beat a subsequent winner here a fortnight ago and is a big player again along with Covert Mission.
