Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort.

Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing.

Got up near the finish to beat Mick's Spirit and Lilkian over C&D 16 days ago, completing a hat-trick in the process; that success took his record at Lingfield to 4-7 and record under Luke Morris to 5-9; at the top of his game and could well defy another small rise in the weights.

Very well treated on his best form and there were clear signs at Wolverhampton in November that he was primed to strike; things haven't gone quite so smoothly in two runs since but dropping back into Class 6 company will help and positive tactics are often advantageous over this C&D; lower draw would have been optimal but he's still one to take very seriously.
