Recent C&D winner and a 7lb rise would be manageable if he's not flattered by that

Disqualified after winning here in February (soft); same mark for this but absent since

Back here, and given the promise of penultimate effort, he's dangerous to dismiss

10l second at Hereford; needs more and this drop in trip doesn't look a positive.

Beaten off a lower mark last time but arrives in form and should give his running
1	Chestnut Pete ch J:Shane Quinlan(3) T:Katy Price	J:Shane Quinlan(3) T:Katy Price	168	t	3-2443	97	111	90	16d	—	—	+11	15.1	28/1 3%
Not running at all badly but 1-27 overall and might be vulnerable once more

Running well in the summer but twice well below that level after wind surgery

It's unclear what happened last time but definite chance if he can bounce back from that
