The selection finished runner-up to a classy rival off level weights at Haydock 13 months ago and still holds an entry in the conditional jockeys race at Cheltenham this year, he is taken to get the better of January's Cheltenham victor William H Bonney with the unexposed London Prize taken to finish in third with last years third Spice Fair another to take note of here.
