Hacked up when making all at Exeter last April in the mud. Not disgraced both runs this term on a sound surface and will appreciate this return to softer conditions.
Beginning to struggle on first attempt at this trip and on soft ground at Sandown when unseating rider 2 out on latest. Previous run at Huntingdon puts him in the mix if he stays this far.
Showed improvement off the back of a wind operation when third here last month and every chance there could be more to come. Respected in a weak handicap for the grade.
Standing dish at this venue and emphatic win over C&D on Boxing Day. Ran up to that form when fourth on latest and can't be discounted receiving plenty of weight from his rivals.
Forecasts
The Cannister Man (5/2), Hier Encore (10/3), Special Acceptance (7/2), West Drive (9/2), Don't Tell George (5/1), She's Gina (12/1)
DON'T TELL GEORGE showed a bit more last time and although that bare form isn't good enough, he may find the required improvement. Despite top weight The Cannister Man has to have a chance with the ground sure to suit. Hier Encore always runs his race at this venue and shouldn't be far away.
