Market support for Little Jimmy on his return would be significant as he won twice over course and distance last winter on heavy ground. Amaury De Lusignan ran his best race for some time at Ffos Las earlier this month while Morestead was runner-up to the in-form Waltzing Tornado at Fontwell nine days ago over a longer trip. LOUGH COI has his sights lowered and is back on a winning mark. Successful over track and trip in January, Anthony Middleton's seven-year-old can defy top weight in this.
