Form & Verdict
C&D record when completing of 3-3 (good, soft, heavy) includes a neck defeat of Graystown off 2lb higher eighteen months ago; really encouraging third on his recent seasonal return considering all career wins have been gained after breaks of 35 days or fewer, and readily shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Soon off the mark as a chaser over 2m4f here in June (good; jumped well) before a disappointing favourite next time, albeit upped slightly in class; mark probably not prohibitive, but not sure this drop back in trip is welcome having been outpaced over C&D earlier in the spring.

Form & Verdict
In the frame more often than not over fences this year, June's C&D neck second (good) being among the pick of those efforts, though eighteen months since last win and it's been possible to call him well handicapped for quite some time now; others a little more persuasive.

Nearing four years since his last success, albeit he has run only 17 times in the interim and is 22lb lower now than for that Haydock 2m7f win (heavy); has defied a break before but nothing of the magnitude of today's, and hard to imagine the drop back to 2m rates a plus.
