Progressive 5yo who was taking his record over C&D to 3-3 when beating Melek Alreeh here 13 days ago; could have even more to offer and is one of the leading contenders off this 2lb higher mark.

Six-time Polytrack winner, latterly over C&D off a similar mark last month; this is more competitive, though, and he needs to put an ordinary subsequent effort behind him.
