Thanks A BakER! I tried your suggestion of lowering the pre ferment to 10% and this was the result. It did not really do much in the fridge overnight so I let it stand at room temperature this morning for 4 1/2 hours ......... that did the trick! Then after knock back and shape for an hour into the preheated Dutch Oven.
You were right the hydration was a little wetter than usual however it rose a treat :) I adjusted the quantities and used 300g strong bread flour.
We went out for a picnic today so I had to take the cooling loaf with me!
This was the result, and it tastes quite yummy :)

Its a great feeling when a loaf turns out how you want it to!
Well done !
