Little Windmill scored over track and tip last year and should fare better back in this lower grade after a poor effort at Fakenham. Lemon's Gent is only 3lb higher than winning at Southwell in December while The Mumper ran well behind the higher rated Earthmoves when second in a selling chase at Ffos Las recently. But PERFECT TIMING had slipped down the weights before scoring at Huntingdon in October and may well defy an 11lb rise on his reappearance having won off higher marks in the past.
