C&D winner who has been successful at Wolverhampton and Lingfield this winter. Good runner-up efforts here on last 2 starts and should go well again.

6/4, creditable second of 7 in C&D handicap 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly.

Hinted at ability in his 3 outings last year but an opening handicap mark of 69 looks tough on the face of things.

14/1
Ended time with Rebecca Menzies on a low note at Wolverhampton just after Christmas. On the same mark as when scoring at Haydock last summer but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations starting out for Brian Ellison.
