Form & Verdict
Had his consistency rewarded with a narrow verdict at Kempton in May and has continued to run well, with his latest close fifth at Ascot right up there with his best form; this is his trip and has to be of interest.

Useful on AW/turf but was below par last time and seems weighted to the hilt back in this sphere; beaten off current mark (finished fifth of 12) in this race 12 months ago.

T: Jonathan Portman

Tough 7yo with a fine C&D record; might have needed the run at Glorious Goodwood after five months off, and fared much better when fourth at Chester two weeks ago; that should have put him spot-on for this and he has real each-way claims.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Jonathan Portman

First of two wins over C&D came in this contest in 2024 off 4lb lower; had a fruitful AW winter campaign; reported to have met with a setback when being readied for Chester's May meeting and returned only when beating just one home in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently; has a high draw to contend with here and is 3lb higher than his last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Probably her best form yet when third of five runners on her handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) a month ago; didn't quite see that out having raced keenly but open to further progress.

Two wins this year, including at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in June on latest start; that form has been franked and she should remain very competitive up 2lb.
