One win from his 16 starts but runner-up in last three races and could be bang there

Won two in a row over C&D in the autumn and he's entitled to respect now back down in trip

Some good form at Southwell at the end of last year and he could be in the mix

In good form in the autumn but merely sixth on last two starts and needs to raise her game
