C&D win (soft) in December before solid places at Market Rasen (3m3f) and Lingfield (3m5f)

4-9 at Sandown; his only race beyond about 2m4f was not conclusive proof of his stamina

Nothing like the force of old but second or third in four of his last five outings

Several minor honours last year; backward steps on his last two outings are offputting

Last month's run (beaten 32l after 642 days off) needs to have done him a lot of good
5	I See You Well b Micheal Nolan · Seamus Mullins	Micheal Nolan · Seamus Mullins	158	—	28265U	120	137	117	20d	—	—	+13	19.2	14/1 7%
C&D winner; his second at Plumpton in November has been followed by three lesser efforts

Acts on soft, below form on heavy; 3-19 over fences; placed all three starts this term

Wind op and tongue tied when pulled up last month, perhaps with 3m5f playing a part
NR	Special Acceptance b TBC · Paul Webber	· Paul Webber	148	b	52-224	110	131	115	39d	—	—	—	15	—
1-27; very consistent again lately and the switch to new headgear offers some hope
