Could be well-in with Numitor; tough task last time and could feature back from a break

C&D winner before a second over 3m at Carlisle; better at this trip and in the mix

Beaten about 10l behind Dubai Days here last time and he's off an untouched mark

All out to win at Exeter but only 2lb higher and historically well handicapped

The season started well but his form has cooled and now has to stage a revival

Perhaps unfortunate not to beat The Widdow Maker at Exeter as he made a bad mistake
