Has shown consistency at this level with two runner-up finishes at this C&D in December and January but was below form when seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (17/2) 18 days ago. Can make an impact back at this track.

13/2

Forecasts

Imola (9/4), Silkies Sib (5/2), Naughty Niall (11/4), Scenario (13/2), He's Our Cracker (16/1), Lightningboltzoom (25/1), Sands Of Havana (28/1), Charming Fellow (33/1), Appetiser (80/1)

IMOLA was beaten only by an improver at Southwell last week and gets the vote off the same mark. Silkies Sib continues to hold his form well and rates the main threat ahead of Naughty Niall, who can quickly bounce back returned to this venue.
