T: Craig Lidster

Two-time C&D winner; near miss at Beverley in July (1m2f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level at Ripon last month (1m3f, good); caught wide when underperforming at Pontefract last week; dangerous at this level in an uncompetitive race; jockey having first ride as an apprentice (0-5 as an amateur).

Good second in an amateur riders' event at Pontefract last time (1m2f, good to firm); stable in good form but is not easy to win with these days (only one win since July 2018).
