Form & Verdict
C&D winner (made most) on reappearance at this meeting last year and, from four return visits, he placed twice last July; ended the campaign with a career best to win at York (1m2f, good; came from midfield) in October, which sees him raised 6lb today but he has to be in serious calculations.

C&D win (good) in May and he's been placed here in his last two starts; finished a 5l third when last seen in July but that was behind a major improver and he had a nightmare with traffic issues; still has potential and could be a big factor if he gets some luck this time.
