Best effort as a chaser when landing second success over fences at Catterick in January. Chased home (an enterprisingly ridden) subsequent winner over C&D next time before finding class 2 at Kelso too much. Expected to bounce back.

Point winner who proved a different proposition switched to fences when seeing off 6 rivals at Newcastle. Probably needed the run 12 months on when fifth there 4 weeks ago and better expected now up in trip.

Back to form when making all over C&D in February and caused another mini surprise when following up at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. Hat-trick may prove beyond him racing off 7 lb higher (2 lb out of weights) here, however.

Forecasts

Defence Witness (1/1), Mobile Mamma (7/4), The Grey Man (15/8), Jongleur D'etoiles (9/4), Goodoldbill (7/2)

Verdict

This looks competitive despite the small field, with DEFENCE WITNESS shading the vote back down in class. Hat-trick seeking The Grey Man is next best.
