C&D winner. 15/8, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on with more needed.

Forecasts

Grenham Bay (10/3), Harry Did (10/3), Hierarchy (7/1), Holy Fire (15/2), Wallop (15/2), G'daay (11/1), General Assembly (11/1), Hiatus (14/1), Big R (14/1), McCauley's Tavern (33/1)

A few with chances but HARRY DID looks the way to go off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a very good Southwell third. Big R is next on the list on the back of his C&D victory last time, while Grenham Bay, Hiatus and Hierarchy also need considering for minor honours.
