C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs.

C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton.

Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence.
